A Moldovan climber died on Everest on May 17, Nepali officials said, taking the toll in the current climbing season on the world's highest mountain to five. "The climber died up in camp three early hours today, we are trying to get more details," tourism department official Yubaraj Khatiwada told AFP. According to local media, Victor Brinza fell ill at South Col -- a sharp-edged pass between Mount Everest and Lhotse. Brinza was part of an expedition run by Himalayan Traverse Adventure. Efforts are under way to bring his body to Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, local media said.
