A German mountain climber dies in the Himalaya. The 57-year-old man Wolfgang W. falls 1500 meters. The accident happens on the mountain Ama Dablam in Nepal. He reaches the top on Sunday.
On Monday morning the group wants to go down. They are in a camp 6100 meters high. A mountain guide asks the man to wait in the tent. The ground is not safe yet. The mountain guide goes away briefly.
When the mountain guide comes back, the tent is empty. Wolfgang W. is gone. His Steig-Eisen stay in the camp. A helicopter looks for the man. Helpers find his dead body at 4500 meters.
The weather is good at the time of the accident. The exact cause for the fall is not clear. A helicopter brings the dead man to Kathmandu. Doctors examine the dead body there now. This year 12 people die in the Himalaya already.
