Expert Slovenian climber Tomaz Humar was found dead in the Himalayas on Saturday, days after he was injured and stranded on a 23,710-foot mountain, a mountain rescue company and close friends said.
Humar, who was married with two children, ascended hundreds of difficult alpine routes around the world, including some of the hardest climbs in the Himalayas.
Viki Groselj, a fellow Slovenian mountaineer and a good friend, described Humar as a "mountaineering genius whose accomplishments have been admired by the whole world."
"Above all, he was a supreme climber who moved the boundaries of possible," Groselj said. "He had an amazing gift and amazing strength."
Matija Grah, a Slovenian journalist who covered his career, had Humar climbed alone since a climbing partner died during a descent 12 years ago.
Humar "climbed the rocks others had avoided," Grah said.
Gerold Biner, flight operations manager for the Swiss Air Zermatt company, said that Tomaz Humar's body was recovered early Saturday by a three-man rescue team.
"They called me ... to tell me the rescue mission was over," Biner said.
Humar, 40, last contacted his base on Monday to say that he was injured while climbing Langtang Lirung.
Viki Groselj, a fellow Slovenian mountaineer and a good friend of Humar, told The Associated Press that Humar had broken his leg and become stranded.
