Three Europeans summit 'The Killer Mountain'

German alpinist David Göttler made his way down via paraglider, while the French duo of Tiphaine Duperier and Boris Langenstein etched themselves into the history books by skiing down the peak, nicknamed "The Killer Mountain."

CEO of Adventure Tours Pakistan Naiknaam Karim said that three foreign climbers began their summit attempt on Nanga Parbat, via the Schell route.

The trio climbed from the approximately 3,600-metre-high base camp to the summit between June 21 and 24. Göttler, 47, had planned to descend from the top by paraglider.
