Tributes have been paid to Hanna by a number of MLAs in Northern Ireland.
NORTHERN IRELAND MOUNTAINEER Noel Hanna has died in Nepal after climbing Mount Annapurna, the tenth highest mountain in the world.
Hanna, a prominent mountaineer from Co Down, was a renowned climber and had scaled Mount Everest ten times. In 2018, he became the first Irish person to successfully summit and descend K2. “My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hanna family circle at this difficult time, the community of Dromara who have lost a very special son & the mountaineering community whom he so loved,” she said.
In a statement on Facebook, Mourne Mountain Adventures, a guided hiking company in Northern Ireland, also paid tribute to Hanna. Rescuers and helicopters were busy on the mountain on Tuesday in efforts to locate three other Indian climbers.
