The group, led by notable British climber Martin Moran, left Munsiyari, India, on May 13 to set out for the Nanda Devi base camp, according to Govind Prasad, from the Pithoragarh, India, Disaster Management Office.At 25,643 feet, Nanda Devi is the 23rd-highest mountain in the world and the second-highest in India.
Fellow British climber Nigel Vardy, who was once stranded on Mount McKinley, the U.S.'s highest peak, and had his toes, fingers and nose amputated due to frostbite, is a friend of Moran. He called him"one of the best guides in the U.K." and"incredibly skilled" in an interview Sunday with ABC News. The U.S. Department of State could not confirm the men were missing, but said it was aware of the reports.
"Martin’s a great planner so I know he’s been planning this expedition for a long time," Vardy said."Weather conditions change and often very quickly and Martin would have known that."
