Bodies of Five Russian Climbers Recovered from Nepal's Mount Dhaulagiri

A daring rescue operation retrieved the climbers' bodies after they went missing during an autumn ascent.

The Russian climbers were reported missing on October 6 while attempting to summit Mount Dhaulagiri, the world's seventh-highest peak.
Rescue helicopters faced delays due to bad weather, finally retrieving the bodies from an icy slope around 7,000 meters high.
The climbers were identified as Alexander Dusheiko, Oleg Kruglov, Vladimir Chistikov, Mikhail Nosenko, and Dmitry Shpilevoy.
Two of the climbers reached the summit, while the other three turned back before losing radio contact with base camp.
Nepal's autumn climbing season, less crowded and cheaper than spring, attracts hundreds of international climbers annually.
