Story summary

Search teams on Friday found the remains of American climber Mallory Geis, one of 10 members of an international mountaineering team killed in an avalanche on Broad Peak weeks ago. The avalanche occurred on July 30th, and Geis was part of a group led by British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja. Her remains were discovered by local volunteers, who had been searching for her after she went missing in the disaster. According to Ayaz Shigri, General Secretary of the Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP), bad weather initially prevented helicopter operations to retrieve Geis' body, but it was eventually airlifted on Tuesday by the Pakistan Army to Skardu, where it is being held at Combined Military Hospital. This marks the final recovery of all 10 climbers from the ill-fated expedition.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
