Subhash Pal

Subhash Pal was an Indian mountaineer, from Bankura, West Bengal. He died on 22 May 2016 while returning, after reaching the summit of Mount Everest (8,849 metre) on 21 May 2016. He was the first mountaineer from Bankura to scale Mt Everest.[1][2] He was in the same team of other three Bengali climbers Sunita Hazra, Paresh Nath and Goutam Ghosh. Only Sunita Hazra returned back alive from his team.[3][4] Subash Pal had reached the 8,849-metre summit on Saturday but collapsed while descending the Hillary Step ice wall. He died in the region between Camp IV and Camp III.[5] Pal is the fifth climber to have died while attempting to scale Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak at 8,850 metres in spring 2016. Subash Pal lost his life due to frostbite which later led to hypothermia.[6]
