A Chinese mountaineer died while descending the world’s second-highest peak, with Pakistani rescuers waiting on Thursday for weather conditions to improve to recover her body.
Guan Jing was descending from the summit of K2 on Tuesday night when falling rocks hit her, Deputy Commissioner for Shigar district Arif Ahmad told AFP.
“An army aviation team is ready for the recovery of the body and is waiting for better weather conditions,” he said.
