2 Ski Mountaineers Killed in Avalanche on Shisha Pangma

This past Tuesday an avalanche claimed the lives of two Dynafit sponsored athletes who were attempting to climb two 8,000-meter peaks in one week via the โ€œDynafit Double 8โ€ project. Sebastian Haag and Andrea Zambaldi were hit by an avalanche on Tibetโ€™s Shisha Pangma (8,027m/26,335ft) while climbing at 25,918-feet, only 400-feet below the summit. The avalanche dragged them 2,000-vertical-feet [โ€ฆ]
