Arrr, five wayward Russian scalawags found cold as a frozen fish atop the seventh tallest treasure mountain, say the officials!

Arrr, me hearties! An official of the expedition be sayin’ that five Russian scallywags, thought lost to the mountains, have met their maker after slippin' on Mount Dhaulagiri! Aye, it seems the icy slopes be no friend to landlubbers! Aye, dead men tell no tales!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn o' woe from the heights of Mount Dhaulagiri, the seventh tallest beast in the world! Five brave lads from the land of vodka and bears met their fateful end, tumbin’ down the icy slopes like a barrel o’ rum in a tempest!Pemba Jangbu Sherpa, a wise old sea dog with a keen eye for the mountains, be tellin’ the tale. It seems the fellas might’ve been all tied to the same rope—like a drunken crew on a ship—and when one slipped, the rest followed suit! Aye, a mighty fine way to take a dive!
The crew was reported lost, and lo and behold, a chopper found their bodies at a height that’d make even the hardiest pirate’s knees quiver—nearly 25,000 feet up! Two of the brave souls had reached the summit, while the others turned back, probably thinkin’ they’d rather sip grog than tempt fate further.
There be a sixth mate who’s still breathin’, mind ye, but he be too tuckered out to walk! As for recoverin’ the fallen, the officials be ponderin’ their next move. So, raise a tankard to the adventurers, who chased glory but found a frosty end instead! Yarrr!
