GILGIT: Award-winning Russian climber Dmitry Golovchenko died at Gasherbrum IV (7,925 metres) on Wednesday while his partner Sergey Nilov was injured.<\/p>\n

Nilov was airlifted to Skardu by Pakistan Army helicopters.<\/p>\n

Gasherbrum IV is the 17th highest mountain on earth and the sixth highest in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Dmitry Golovchenko and Sergey Nilov set out from their base camp via the extremely demanding Southeast Ridge in without bottled oxygen, high altitude porters, fixed ropes or high camps.<\/p>\n

The two went missing after reaching an altitude of 7,000 metres as the weather intervened.<\/p>\n

According to Karrar Haidri, general secretary of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, Dmitry Golovchenko had probably suffered a lethal fall. His partner Sergey Nilov returned alone to the base camp, but was feeling weak and had suffered frostbite.<\/p>\n

Golovchenko and Nilov had won two Piolet d\u2019Or awards together for their daring ascents of treacherous peaks.<\/p>\n
