The body of Olympic gold medallist Laura Dahlmeier will be left on Laila Peak, honouring her final wish
Dahlmeier, an Olympic gold medallist, was ascending Laila Peak in the Karakoram mountain range on Monday when she was struck by falling rocks while climbing with a partner who survived.
Rescuers were able to confirm Dahlmeier’s death on Wednesday but could not retrieve the body because of unfavourable weather, said Faizullah Faraq, a spokesman for the regional Gilgit-Baltistan government.
