Tomaz Humar

The death of Tomaz Humar, one of the world's leading climbers, while making a solo attempt of the south face of Langtang Lirung, a 7,234m (23,700ft) mountain in northern Nepal, has been widely covered by the press. Obituaries can be read here and here. Climbing Lessons from the School of Tomaz Humar, a detailed profile of the Slovenian mountaineer that appeared in the June 2002 edition of Outside Magazine is also well worth a read.
