Saman Nemati
Shortly before his death climbing the Himalayas
This is macabre. On July 21, 2008, the 27-year old mountain climber ascending K2 in the Himalayas, disappeared at 7,400 meters, and search for him was abandoned later on. Apparently he had had problems breathing and didn't heed calls to return.
This video clip is probably the last one showing him alive and still ascending at 6,500 meters, quite possibly shortly before his death.
(1500 hours local) Search for Nemati apparently seems abandoned, from his tour operator we have come to know that they have decided to discontinue the search.
