French climber dies on Nepal's Mt Makalu

A French climber died on Mount Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak, expedition organisers said Tuesday, the second fatality of this year's spring climbing season, and both on the same mountain. Hundreds of climbers have flocked to the Himalayan country, home to eight of the world's 14 highest peaks for summits in the spring climbing season when temperatures are warm and winds are typically calm.
