Bodies of Missing Climbers Found on Mt.Kangaroo
WEDNESDAY, 28 JUNE 2006
A search team sent by French Embassy in Kathmandu found the bodies of nine climbers who had gone missing in a massive avalanche at Mt. Kangaroo more than 8 months ago.
Climbers from a French expedition on October last year had been lost in an avalanche - seven French and 15 Nepalis. Only four of them returned safely.
The first rescue team on October had to abandon the search due to heavy snowfall. Since the snow is now melting down as the monsoon starts, seven bodies were found in a gorge during a search at the base camp three weeks earlier.
