Romanian alpinists found alive and well in the Himalayas

The two Romanian alpinists who were stranded while climbing the Nanga Parbat peak in the Himalayas last week were found alive and healty about a week when communication with them halted, national TV station TVR has reported.

The two were caught by storm while climbing Nanga Parbat. Their team mates, who remained in a camp at a lower altitude, had tried vainly to come in contact with them for several days.

The Romanian team left for the Himalayas a month ago and planned to reach the 8125 meters high Nanga Parbat peak.
