Mountaineering group disputes claim that Muhammad Hawari was alone on May 14

KOTA KINABALU: A group of mountaineers are disputing claims by veteran climber T. Ravichandran that Malaysian Everest climber Muhammad Hawari Hashim was without a Sherpa on May 14 of this year.

The mountaineering groups said that they pieced together what they found out, giving a timeline of events prior to Hawari’s death, denying that he was alone throughout his climb.
