An avalanche at a lower elevation on Mount Manaslu swept several climbers, killing a Nepali guide and injuring others on Monday. A famed U.S. ski climber fell off near the peak of the world's eighth-highest mountain.

Hundreds of climbers and their local guides were attempting to reach the summit during Nepal's autumn climbing season. All of the climbers caught in the avalanche Monday were accounted for.

Some of the injured were flown to Kathmandu and were being treated in hospitals. One of those injured said there were about 13-14 people who were swept by the avalanche.
