Austrian climber Christian Huber has died in an avalanche that hit his tent at Camp Two on Ulter Sar (7388 m), Pakistan. Ultar Sar is the southeastern-most major peak of the Batura Muztagh, a subrange in the Karakoram.

The other two members of the team, Britons Bruce Normand and Timothy Miller, are safe and awaiting rescue at C2, although the storm that pounded their camp before the avalanche is said to be worsening.
