Long summer for the extreme sports. Last summer for many climbers, skiers and wingsuit flyers.

Because the Rocky Mountains weren’t hilly enough, they go to that place to climb?

Don’t have any sympathy. Sorry but when you risk something dangerous in a hostile country then oh well.

Given the obsession with Pakistan, and the name, I wonder if this is his blog http://kyledempster.blogspot.com/

They were probably kidnapped and smuggled to North Korea to teach the Juche-Fruit Western literature.

Westerners climbing mountains in northwest Pakistan.

Any chance they were abducted by jihadis instead?

Last year, Dempster and Adamson nearly died trying the same climb. Adamson broke his leg after a 100-foot fall and the two fell again 400 feet while trying to get down the mountain. He said the duo hoped they had learned from their mistakes during the near-death experience to make it this time, Thesenga said.

Apparently not.

I’m sure the families and loved ones of these two have lost sleep and worried for years, and now their dread appears to have come true. I’m sorry that they’ve almost certainly died, but how self-centered can you be? They cheated death once, recently. Time to scale back and tone it down, for most. Addicted to the adrenaline, I guess.

Tragic and terribly sad for the families. Sounds like every time these guys came home their families had to ponder if it would be the last time they see them.

Climbing an 8000er isn’t for the faint of heart or inexperienced.

There are lots of hazards and if you get injured, it means sure death since rescue is impractical.

All for the bragging rights of reaching the summit.
