About

In 1994, Pisang Peak became the site of what has been called the "Pisang Tragedy", one of Nepal's worst climbing disasters. On November 13, 1994, 11 people, including nine Germans, one Swiss and one Nepalese died in an avalanche. After reaching the summit, the climbing party started a windslab avalanche, which swept the group over 600 meters to their deaths. The entire expedition party was killed in the accident. One week later, a rescue team found the bodies of the climbers huddled together on the snowfield.
