Mountaineer and guide dies in Everest

A Nepalese mountain guide and an Indian climber have died on Mount Everest, their expeditions organizers announced Thursday, bringing to seven the number of people killed since the start of the mountaineering season on the world's highest mountain.
Susan Leopoldina Jesis, a 58-year-old Indian teacher, died in one of the hospitals where she was taken after feeling unwell at the main camp of mountainees.
Da Dindi Sherpa "We took an Indian mountaineer from the camp to Lokla on Wednesday by helicopter because she was sick and could not climb the mountain," said Glacier Himalaya Trix & Expedition.
"We tried to take her to Kathmandu, but the bad weather prevented the helicopter from getting there, and she died on Thursday morning," he said.
A Nepalese guide also died on Tuesday while descending Mount Everest, where he was taking part in an annual mountain clean-up campaign organized by the Nepal Army.
Basang Sherpa of Peak Promotion explained that "the process of returning his body is ongoing."
The start to the Everest climbing season has been tragic this year, with three Nepalese climbers killed in April, an American in early May and Moldovan on Wednesday.
Nepal is home to eight of the world's 10 highest peaks, including the 8849,466-metre Everest, while each spring season welcomes hundreds of climbers.
This year, Nepalese authorities issued at least 900 permits to climb Mount Everest for foreign climbers. Since most need guides, more than <> people will then try to climb the mountain in the spring season, which lasts until the beginning of June.
