Snowstorm kills 9 climbers on Nepal's 7193-metre Mount Gurja
Five South Korean climbers and four Nepalese guides have died on Nepal's Mount Gurja after their camp was devastated by a violent snowstorm, their expedition organiser said on Saturday. First summited in 1969, the 7,193-metre peak has not been successfully scaled in 22 years. Only 30 have reached Gurja's peak so far, while over 8,000 have summited 8,848-metre-tall Mount Everest.
