The tragic accident appears to have occurred when the climbers slipped and fell, marking a grim reminder of the dangers of high-altitude mountaineering.

Five Russian mountaineers who appeared to have slipped and fallen on the world’s seventh highest peak have been killed, an expedition organiser in Nepal said Tuesday.

The Russian climbers were climbing the 8,167-metres (26,788-foot) high Mount Dhaulagiri during Nepal’s autumn climbing season.

The climbers had been reported missing since Sunday and a rescue helicopter spotted their bodies on Tuesday.
