One of two missing Japanese climbers was found dead and his body recovered from a mountain in northern Pakistan on Saturday, with a search ongoing for the second man, an official said.
Ryuseki Hiraoka, 55, and Atsushi Taguchi, 36, were attempting to summit the 7,027-meter (23,054-foot) Spantik mountain in the Karakoram range before they went missing last week.
"The dead body of a Japanese climber was found, and a search is ongoing for the second climber," said Wali Ullah Falahi, the Shigar district deputy commissioner.
