Rescuers successfully retrieved the bodies of an American climber and her guide from the slopes of Mount Shishapangma, in the Chinese region of Tibet, more than seven months after they were lost while trying to summit the world\u2019s 14th tallest peak.<\/p>\n

The American climber, Anna Gutu, 33, and the guide, Mingmar Sherpa, 27, were buried in the avalanche around Oct. 7, 2023, while racing to make history: Ms. Gutu had hoped to become the first American woman to climb 14 mountains higher than 8,000 meters (26, 247 feet). <\/span>Mount Shishapangma rises 8,027 meters (26,335 feet) above sea level.<\/p>\n

The climbers\u2019 bodies were brought to Kathmandu, Nepal\u2019s capital, on Saturday, after being retrieved last week, according to Elite Exped, the expedition company.<\/p>\n

A team of nine climbers led by Nirmal Purja, popularly known as Nimsdai, brought back the bodies in a rescue mission that lasted for three days and nights. Of the rescuers involved in the mission, three fell ill; two had to be put on oxygen by the time they reached the beginning of the glacier; and one was sent on another mission, to Mount Everest. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
