World awaits status of missing climbers, including Nirmal Purja

Following the recovery of two bodies, seven climbers were spotted via aerial drone footage on Broad Peak. But the search team says they can’t verify the identities of most of them — or confirm if they are still alive.

Rescue teams on Pakistan’s Broad Peak located six additional climbers by drone late Friday, a day after an avalanche swept away a 10-member climbing team that included Nirmal Purja, the Nepali mountaineer known as “Nimsdai”.
