alpinist

Ms Manners is an alpinist, a mountain climber who specialises in difficult climbs, and now lives in Chamonix, France.

Once upon a time, alpinists laboriously hacked steps into it — literal stairways to heaven.

This “high-altitude work,” Mr. Tusk later recalled, involved being a “crazy alpinist” and equipped him to calibrate results and risk, a useful political skill.

Another Australian alpinist, Daniel Trevena, has been coming to the region for over 10 years.

An experienced alpinist from Northern Ireland was found dead and another climber from India went missing on the same mountain in central Nepal on Tuesday.
