Dozens of climbers are alleged to have walked past the Pakistani helper in their eagerness to reach the summit of K2 after he was gravely injured in a fall
Porter apparently lacked equipment
After reaching the top, Ms Harila filmed an"emotional" video celebrating their record-breaking climb. Anwar Syed, the head of the company handling Ms Harila's expedition, Lela Peak Expedition, said Mr Hassan died about 150m below the summit.Mr Syed said because of the bottleneck's dangerous conditions it would not be possible to retrieve Mr Hassan's body and hand it to the family. He said his company had given money to Mr Hassan's family and would continue to help.
"He wasn't equipped properly. He did not have experience. He was a base camp porter and for the first time was picked to be a high-altitude porter. He wasn't qualified for this," he said.Mr Steindl visited Mr Hassan's family and set up a crowdfunding campaign, with donations reaching more than €114,000 on Saturday.
