A renowned climber who served in the British special forces has died following an avalanche on one of the world's highest mountains.
The company co-founded by Nirmal Purja - Elite Exped - confirmed that the former British Army and Royal Marines soldier died in Pakistan.
Purja, known as Nims, was leading a 10-strong team on the 8,051m Broad Peak in the north of the country when the avalanche struck at around midday on Thursday.
He was the subject of popular Netflix documentary, 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible, which showed him powering to the top of the mountains, each with peaks in the so-called "death zone", starting with Annapurna on April 23 2019 and taking in Everest in May and K2 in July.
