Hayes was rescued by Sherpas and brought down to a high-altitude camp as they awaited better weather to evacuate him, the Himalayan Times reports.

Meanwhile a French climber on the same expedition has died.

Margareta Morin, 63, died at 7,800m (25,590ft) on her way up the mountain as she couldn’t be rescued during severe weather.

Yogendra Tamang of Peak 15 Adventure said conversations were now underway with Morin’s insurance company to bring her body back down.

Morin reportedly did not have any prior experience on climbing mountains over 8000m.

Kangchenjunga’s summit is 8,500m high.

Approximately 10 climbers, including Hayes, reached the summit on Saturday from a group of 13, consisting of six foreign climbers and seven Nepalese Sherpas.

Reports said they managed to reach the summit in difficult conditions.

The expedition also consisted of a Kosovan, two Iranians, and an Emirati.
