Nirmal Purja Instagram – SHISHAPANGMA 2 – “My Dear Anna. Your talent was an inspiration to see. Your legacy will always be as one of the strongest and best mountaineers – You shine bright over the peaks. We were on the same mountain on the same summit push – I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. Thank you for being my sister, my friend. I will always remember you Anna, words can’t even describe how I feel. The phrase ‘missing you’ isn’t enough, now you are part of my life, you will live in my memories as long as I live. You had a wonderful positive impact on the Nepalese community – you donated to give kids a better education at Khumjung Secondary School, and raised thousands to help Guide Yukta’s village school in Laprak – your legacy is talent and kindness. My heartfelt condolences to your loved ones.” As sent to Team Nimsdai via limited Satellite phone comms from Shishapangma. Nims is currently on the mountain helping to coordinate the rescue operation together with the other guiding companies involved. We thank you for your support and kind wishes during this sad time and we send our thoughts to the loved ones of everyone caught up in this tragic avalanche. (Team Nimsdai.)
