Today, the global mountaineering community stands united in grief. 🙏🏻
With heavy hearts, we extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, teammates and loved ones of the extraordinary climbers who tragically lost their lives following the devastating avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan.
We remember:
* Nirmal Purja (Nims Dai)
* Purna Bahadur Gurung (Yukta)
* Kili Pemba Sherpa
* Nawang Thindu Sherpa
* Nima Sherpa
* Gyalu Sherpa
* Sohail Sakhi
* Nadhira Al Harthy
* Mallory Geis
* Wang Zhong
These remarkable climbers embodied courage, resilience and a deep passion for mountaineering. Through their achievements and commitment to the mountains, they inspired countless people around the world.
The mountains inspire us with their beauty, but they also remind us of their immense power and unpredictability.
The loss of Nims Dai and every member of this team leaves an irreplaceable void in the global mountaineering community. Their achievements, humility, leadership and spirit will continue to inspire generations of climbers around the world.
On behalf of the entire 8K family, we pay tribute to every life lost and stand in solidarity with their loved ones and the global mountaineering community during this profoundly difficult time.
Their legacy will continue to inspire climbers and adventurers for generations to come.
May they all rest in eternal peace. 🕊️🏔️
