How Did Noel Hanna Die?, Age, Funeral: Noel Hanna was a renowned Northern Irish mountain climber from Dromore in Co Down.
He’s best known as the Northern Irish climber who summitted Everest 10 times and one of Ireland’s most successful mountaineers.
In 2006, he climbed the world’s highest peak and then cycled from the route’s base camp to the sea in eastern India, reaching the Bay of Bengal after a marathon two-week bike ride.
In 2018, Noel Hanna became the first person from the island of Ireland to climb and descend the second-highest mountain in the world, K2.
His other achievements include climbing the highest mountain on all seven continents and – alongside three Sherpas – becoming the first humans to ascend the Burke Khang peak on the Nepal-Tibet border.
Sadly, the Northern Ireland mountaineer has died. He passed away in Nepal while descending from the top of the treacherous Annapurna mountain range.
Annapurna is considered one of the most challenging mountains to climb due to its steep and exposed routes and the frequent risk of avalanches and landslides.
According to Kathmandu-based Seven Summit Treks, Noel Hanna died on Monday, April 17 2023 on his way back from Annapurna’s 8,091m summit.
Hanna had scaled the 8,091m (26,545ft) Annapurna peak on Monday, April 17, and died overnight at a camp after making his descent.
