A Kenyan mountaineer, Cheruiyot Kirui, and his guide have gone missing during their ascent of Mt. Everest in an expedition organized by Seven Summit Treks (SST) based in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The two lost contact with their team while attempting to scale the treacherous Bishop Rock at 8,000 meters.

SST Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mingma Sherpa said Kirui and Nawang embarked on their climb without supplemental oxygen, a daring endeavor even for seasoned climbers.

“Kirui, a banker with KCB, and his Sherpa guide Nawang were last in communication at Bishop Rock,” Mingma Sherpa informed local authorities. “Kirui exhibited abnormal behavior with his guide before communication ceased.”

SST mobilized a search and rescue mission to locate the missing climber. Two Sherpa rescuers were dispatched to scour the treacherous terrain above the balcony area in hopes of locating Kirui and Nawang.
