An Irish climber who died on Mt Everest this week reportedly sent a text to his pregnant wife saying he conquered the highest peak in the world.
Seamus Lawless became the 11th climber to die on the mountain in the past 10 days.
According to the Sun, Lawless sent a text message to his wife saying he'd done it before perishing on his descent from the mountain - falling on the 8200m high "balcony" area of Mt Everest.
Meanwhile, Australian climber Gillian Lee is recovering after being rescued from Mt Everest on his fourth attempt to scale the world's tallest peak.
The ABC reported the Canberra man was attempting to climb the mountain without the assistance of oxygen tanks and was found unconscious at an altitude of 7500m by Tibetan climbers last week.
