An avalalnche hit Mount Manaslu this weekend and left at least nine people dead with a few people still missing on the slopes. Rescuers and officials are still trying to figure out how many people were actually in the climbing party before the avalanche hit. Five climbers are still alive and have been flown to the hospital for treatment. Air searches were made impossible by the weather conditions on Sunday, so progression was slowed. Mount Manaslu has dozens of deaths each year due to its dangerous conditions. It is the eigth highest mountain in the world.
