LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), Aug 26: Authorities say a Slovenian climber has died while trying to climb a 23,862-foot mountain in northern Pakistan and that a fellow climber called home with a mobile phone and is waiting to be rescued.

The Alpine Association and foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the pair began their ascent of Mustagh Tower on Monday, but one of them, Pavle Kozjak, fell into a chasm and died of injuries.—AP
