It is with great sadness that the Shared Summits Team confirms a story originally reported on ExplorersWeb.com.

Sometime before dawn, below the bottleneck, a Sherpa with the Korean team fell. The fall is reported as un-survivable. At that time Chris, Bruce and Don were climbing above the Korean Team, in the bottleneck or above.
