LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — Veteran Slovenian climber Tomaz Humar was found dead in the Himalayas on Saturday, days after he broke his leg and was stranded on a 23,710-foot mountain, a mountain rescue company and a close friend said.
Humar, 40, who was married with two children, ascended hundreds of difficult alpine routes around the world, including some of the hardest climbs in the Himalayas.
Mountain climbing is popular in Slovenia, an Alpine nation, and Humar’s climbs were closely watched by his fellow Slovenes. His death left the country saddened, and Prime Minister Borut Pahor sent a note of condolence to his family Saturday.
