Kathmandu: Rescuers found the body of a second Mongolian climber who went missing on Mount Everest, expedition organisers said Sunday, confirming the second fatality on the world's highest peak this mountaineering season.
Usukhjargal Tsedendamba, 53, and Purevsuren Lkhagvajav, 31, were last in contact Sunday evening from Camp 4, which is situated less than a kilometre (0.6 miles) below the summit.
Tsedendamba's body was found around an altitude of 8,600 metres (28,215 feet) on Friday morning after days of search and rescue operations that had been hampered by bad weather.
"The second body was also found on Friday, but needed verification. We confirmed it was him yesterday," Pemba Sherpa of 8k Expeditions, which organised the duo's climbing permits and base camp stay, told AFP.
"We are trying to bring the bodies down."
