His final Instagram post revealed his goal to climb all 14 eight-thousanders twice without oxygen, with only Cho Oyu remaining after Broad Peak.
In 2019, Purja set a record by climbing all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters in six months and six days.
The Netflix documentary '14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible' follows his 2019 record attempt.
The avalanche hit Broad Peak, a mountain in the region known for avalanche risks.
