One Indian climber's body found

Rescuers on Friday found the body of Paresh Chandra Nath, an Indian mountaineer, who went missing above Camp IV on the Mt. Everest last week.

Wangchu Sherpa, the managing director at Trekking Camp Nepal, said a team of six Sherpas retrieved the body of Nath (58) above the Camp IV while they could not move ahead from the higher camp to locate another missing Bengal climber.

"High wind forced the rescuers to descend from the Camp IV after locating Paresh Nath's body," the Himalayan Times quoted him as saying.

Similarly, the body of an Australian woman climber has been airlifted to capital city after a team Sherpas brought it down to the Camp II from the Camp III.

Dr. Maria Styrdom had died after suffering from altitude related sickness while she was descending from the summit point along with her husband Robert James Gropel on Saturday.

On Thursday, the body of Eric Arnold, a climber from the Netherlands was also airlifted to Kathmandu.
