Mount Baruntse in the Himalayas

Chhewang Nima (Шаблон:Lang-ne) (Шаблон:Circa 1967 – 23 October 2010) was a Nepalese Sherpa who climbed Mount Everest 19 times.[1] He was also called Chuwang Nima,[2] and Chuwang Nima Sherpa.[3]

Nima disappeared on 24 October 2010, after being struck by an avalanche near the summit of Mount Baruntse.[1] The search for him was called off the following day.[4] His loss in the avalanche and subsequent search made international news.[3][5] He worked as a professional mountaineer, but at the time of his loss he was helping another team fix lines after they had asked for help.[3][6]
