ISLAMABAD/GILGIT: The world’s second highest peak K2 claimed the life of another climber on Sunday.
According to Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) Secretary Karrar Haidri, Scottish mountaineer Rick Allen was attempting to open a new route on the southern face of K2 when he was killed by an avalanche.
The 52-year-old climber was part of a three-member team attempting to summit the 8,611 metre peak in the Karakoram Range.
“We are waiting for more details to come in. His climbing partners Stephan Keck from Austria and Jordi Tosas of Spain are reportedly safe,” Mr Haidri said.
They were rescued by Pakistan Army helicopters and shifted to Skardu.
