Climbers missing on 'Killer Mountain' presumed dead: Pakistan

Two foreign climbers who went missing while scaling the 8,125-metre 'Killer Mountain' in northern Pakistan have been presumed dead and the rescue operation has been called off, officials said today.
Alberto Zerain, a Spanish, and Mariano Galvan, an Argentinian, went missing while attempting to summit the Nanga Parbat.
Officials called off rescue operation today after last ditch efforts to locate the missing duo failed.
"The climbers are presumed dead as we failed to get any clue about them," according to an official of Alpine Club of Pakistan.
The two missing men had started the climbing on June 19 but could only reach at 6,100 metres when they were held by bad weather.

They lost contact with the base camp on last Friday, prompting search operation.
