On a mountain that has long drawn human ambition to its most extreme edge, an avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak has silenced ten climbers, among them Nirmal Purja — the Nepalese mountaineer who once compressed seven years of human endeavor into six months. Since Thursday, no signal has reached the valley below. Search teams are gathering, but the Karakoram does not yield its answers easily, and the world waits in the particular stillness that follows when the mountains take someone remarkable.
