A 63-year-old French climber has died trying to scale the world’s third-highest mountain, Kanchenjunga, the expedition’s organiser said on Monday.
Margareta Morin died above Camp 4 of the 8,586-metre (28,169 feet) Himalayan mountain on Saturday.
“She died due to health complications while ascending,” Yogendra Tamang of Peak 15 Adventure told AFP.
“We are not yet able to bring back the body due to bad weather conditions.”
Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain after Mount Everest and K2, is regarded as one of the most technically demanding among the world’s 8,000-metre peaks.
It was the third death in the spring climbing season, which runs from April to early June.
Last week, an American climber died while attempting Mount Makalu, the fifth-highest mountain in the world.
