In May 1959, George Fraser and Mike Harris, two of Britain's finest climbers, were last seen at 6,400 metres (21,000 ft) on the mountain's north ridge, but never returned to tell whether they had reached the summit. On the night of 13/14 November 2006, a large serac collapse occurred from the hanging glacier, which swept away several tents at Camp III, killing six climbers (three European, three Nepalese). Eyewitness testimony indicates that Camp III had not been sited in an unusual or abnormally dangerous spot, and that the serac fall was of such magnitude as to render the specific placing of the tents at Camp III irrelevant. On 11 November 2017, Russian BASE jumper Valery Rozov was killed when he jumped from the mountain in a wingsuit and struck a cliff. On 28 April 2025, Austrian climber Martin Hornegger was reported dead after he fell during his descent from the mountain on 26 April. ==In popular culture==
