Story summary

A 10-member international mountaineering team led by British-Nepali climber Nirmal Purja was struck by an avalanche on July 30th on Broad Peak, a mountain in Pakistan. The team, including American climber Mallory Geis, lost their lives in the accident. Despite efforts to recover the bodies, some members were not found until weeks later. On Friday, search teams located Geis' remains, and local volunteers had moved the body to the base camp. Due to bad weather, the body couldn't be airlifted immediately but was eventually transported by Pakistan Army helicopters on Tuesday to Skardu, where it was taken to the Combined Military Hospital.
