A 31-year-old hiker tragically fell to his death at Mount Nama in China’s Sichuan province after reportedly untying his safety rope to take selfies near the summit. The man, identified only by his surname, Hong, was part of a hiking group scaling the 5,588-metre peak on September 27 when he stepped close to a crevasse for pictures. A video of the incident has surfaced on social media, showing the man losing control and sliding nearly 200 metres down the icy mountainside. Hong’s cousin told local media it was his first attempt at climbing the mountain. He had reportedly undone his safety rope to help others take pictures, only to trip moments later. Tibet: 1,000 Tourists Stranded on Mt Everest Campsites Amid Severe Blizzard, Rescue Operations Underway.
