Annapurna 2025: Podcast with John Black on Sherpa Deaths
Published: April 15, 2025
Duration: 52:15
As I previously reported, two Sherpas lost their lives when struck by an avalanche on the 8000er, Annapurna, on April 7, 2025. Ngima Tashi and Rima Rinje were swept into a deep crevasse between Camps 2 and 3. Four days later, Sherpas located their bodies using RECCO reflective technology after several helicopter searches proved unsuccessful. Retrieval was not attempted due to the bodies being inside a deep crevasse and the ongoing avalanche danger.
In the Podcast are multiple still images from his climb, plus a video of the actual avalanche taken by John.
Climb On!
