Nims Dai survived K2 in Winter. Broad Peak was supposed to be easy.

In July 2026, an avalanche on Broad Peak killed one of mountaineering's greatest legends – Nirmal Purja, known to climbers worldwide as Nims Dai. He'd already survived the impossible – summiting all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters without supplemental oxygen. But the mountain that was supposed to be the easy one became his final expedition. Nims Dai was more than a climber. He was a Gurkha soldier, an expedition leader, and a symbol of human endurance. His Project Possible showed the world that climbing's limits could be pushed beyond what anyone thought possible. In this documentary, we explore how a mountaineering legend met his end on Broad Peak, what led to the avalanche in 2026, and why this tragedy shook the climbing community. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 – The Legend Who Didn't Think He Could Die 1:45 – Project Possible: Rewriting Mountaineering History 4:20 – The Broad Peak Expedition Begins 6:30 – The Avalanche That Changed Everything 8:15 – Why Even the Best Climbers Can't Escape the Mountains 📍 ABOUT THIS VIDEO: This is the story of Nirmal Purja's final climb – a tragic chapter in mountaineering history.
