Quake-triggered avalanche kills Nepali guide

A 43-year-old Nepali guide died and a British climber was injured on Monday when an earthquake triggered an avalanche on the Himalayan peak they were climbing, an expedition operator said. They were part of a 13-member team climbing the 6,812-metre (22,349-foot) Ama Dablam peak in the Everest region when the 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck early Monday.
"The avalanche occurred after the quake hit," Iswari Paudel, managing director of Himalayan Guides, told AFP. "The two were airlifted but the guide died on the way.
