A Czech mountaineer, Bansky Jaroslav, died after falling near Camp I on Masherbrum, a 7,821-metre peak in Pakistan’s Karakoram Range. His death marks the second fatality of the summer climbing season, following a French climber killed by an avalanche on K-6. Over 30 mountaineering permits have been issued as foreign expeditions target Pakistan’s high peaks.
