Two days after Nelson went missing on Manaslu, details about the ski mountaineer's accident are emerging
Nelson, 49, reportedly fell into a crevasse just below the summit while descending the peak on skis. Elsewhere on the mountain, an avalanche killed one climber and injured a dozen more.
Mountaineers now agree on the location of the 26,781-foot peak’s highest point. More than 400 are expected to try to reach the summit this fall.
Cliffhanger, The Eiger Sanction, The Ledge—climbing thrillers are nothing new. But what makes this novel different is that its author, Amy McCulloch, has actually climbed an 8,000-meter peak.
The 8,000-meter peak has not been summited in winter in over 20 years. This season, only two climbers remain who may attempt it once again.
