The Allgäu extreme mountaineer Luis Stitzinger died in an accident at the age of 54 in the Himalayas. That reported on Tuesday (May 30). The mountaineer was initially reported missing on the eight-thousander Kangchenjunga. A search team made up of several Sherpas then found the lifeless body of the Allgäu man at an altitude of 8,400 meters. The exact cause of death has not yet been determined. Stitzinger’s wife Alix von Melle (51) now touchingly said goodbye.

With deep love, gratitude and infinite sadness – we still had so many dreams that we wanted to fulfill…”
