On a Thursday midday in Pakistan's Karakoram range, an avalanche swallowed a ten-member expedition on Broad Peak, among them Nirmal Purja — the Nepali mountaineer who once raced through all fourteen of the world's highest summits in barely six months. The mountain has offered no word of them since. As rescue teams await a break in the weather, the world is reminded once more that the heights which draw the most extraordinary human beings are the same heights most indifferent to their survival.
