Mountaineering

Nepal celebrated the achievements of several Sherpa climbers who set new records on the world’s 14 highest mountains.

While foreign tourists easily come and go in helicopters, locals are often refused flights — even for emergency medical attention.

As climate change melts mountains around the world, the bodies of climbers lost for decades are appearing more frequently.

The soloist died in a dangerous section of Denali that has killed 13 other climbers since 1980, according to park officials.

The recovery occurred on Shishapangma, the same mountain where Kristin Harila was denied a similar request to recover her former climbing partner.
