A renowned Czech mountaineer has died while climbing Nanga Parbat, amongst the 14 peaks that are over 8000 metres in altitude, an official of the Alpine Club of Pakistan said on Friday.

Klara Kolouchova, 46, fell from a height between Camp I and Camp II in the early hours of Thursday, around 4.00 am, near Bunar Base Camp of the 8125 metres peak in the Diamer area of Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Nanga Parbat has earned the moniker of a ‘Killer Mountain’ in the mountaineering community due to its reputation of regularly exacting high numbers of human 
fatalities.
