On the high slopes of Broad Peak, where the atmosphere itself becomes an adversary, five climbers have been found dead — among them Nirmal Purja, a mountaineer who had made a life of defying what the mountains seemed to forbid. Pakistani officials confirmed the discovery this week, though the bodies remain on the mountain, awaiting a recovery that the altitude and weather may yet complicate. Purja's death, in a place he understood as well as any human being could, reminds us that the mountains do not negotiate with mastery — they simply endure.
