In May twenty twenty-six, the Nepal Mountaineering Association recovered an unidentified climber's body from the Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest. The discovery - made by Icefall Doctors during routine route maintenance - marks another chapter in the mountain's long history of loss. As glaciers melt and ice retreats, Everest is revealing bodies from decades past. But this climber's identity remains unknown.
