A 31-year-old hiker has died in a tragic fall on Mount Nama in China’s Sichuan province after reportedly untying his safety rope to take photos near the summit.

The man, identified only by his surname Hong, was part of a hiking group scaling the 5,588-metre peak on September 25 when he stepped close to a crevasse for pictures. According to witnesses, he had removed his safety line and wasn’t using an ice axe when he suddenly slipped on the snow-covered slope.

As others watched in horror, Hong lost control and slid nearly 200 metres down the icy mountainside. A video that surfaced online shows the moment he vanished over the edge.
