After no contact for 14 days plus hundreds of hours of searching by telescope, on foot, from helicopter and drone, the official search ended today for Italian Daniel Nardi, 42, and British Tom Ballard, 31, on the 8000-meter Pakistan peak, Nanga Parbat.
The families authorized the release of a photo taken a few days earlier by Spanish climber Alex Txikon from base camp showing their bodies positioned in a small rock gulley, behind a rocky spur at approximately 5,900-meters/19,356-feet on the Mummery spur. This was a bit higher than their Camp 3 location. It is reported that there will be no effort to retrieve the bodies at this point but may in the future.
