Nepali rescue workers have spotted five bodies at a site where the same number of climbers went missing last year, officials said on Saturday. Three foreign climbers – an Italian Canadian, an Italian and a German – and two Nepali nationals have been missing since November last year after being struck by an avalanche on Yalung Ri mountain. Phurba was speaking from Bongar Khola, near the site, where a helicopter was waiting for the visibility to clear. It was not immediately clear if the bodies were those of the same climbers who went missing on Yalung Ri last year. The mountain is in northeastern Nepal’s Rolwaling Valley, where climbers have to contend with routes that include a mix of rock, ice and snow.
