Himalayas avalanche sweeps away climbers in Nepal
Where did this happen?
It happened in the Himalayas in
Nepal.
Can you explain what is happening?
A flood snow hit a couple of European
climbers when they were climbing Mount Manaslu, the 8th highest
mountain in Himalaya
What would result if the avalanche never happened?
The climbers would probably, if no
other problem occurred, reach the top without more difficulties and they would
have a better chance to survive the adventure.
What conclusions can you draw about the expedition?
You have to be prepared for every
occasion, everything that can happen during the climb – Change of weather, resources,
accidents, injuries, etc. – and be aware of the consequences.
How can you change the plan?
Climb another day, look at the
weather forecast more thoroughly and choose days when there is a very low risk
of a snowstorm to sweep in.
What is the opinion of climbing high mountains?
We think that if you want to climb the 8th
highest mountain in the world you should prepare good, coordinate your expedition
well and be aware of the consequences that can happen during the adventure.
