Daniel Paterson and his guide lost contact with their group after successfully climbing the mountain.

A British climber and his Nepali guide are feared dead after being hit by falling ice as they descended from Everest's summit.

The company, which organised the expedition, said the collapse happened on Hilary Step, a vertical rock face near the summit and that the men "fell down towards the Tibet side through a very vertical steep".An experienced climber, Mr Paterson said climbing Everest had been a goal for most of his life

The area is understood to be within the so-called 'death zone' - the section of the mountain above 8,000m where oxygen levels and air pressure are not sufficient to sustain human life for an extended time. His challenge was to help raise money for the family of a gym member, who had recently died from cancer.
