KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Five Russian mountaineers who appeared to have slipped and fallen on the world’s seventh highest peak have been killed, an expedition organizer in Nepal said Tuesday.
The Russian climbers were climbing 8,167-meters (26,788-foot) high Mount Dhaulagiri during Nepal's autumn climbing season.
The climbers had been reported missing since Sunday and a rescue helicopter spotted their bodies on Tuesday.
