Arfi, Miloche, and Pachoud had gone to the Nare Glacier to attempt Omoga Ri Chang (6,070m), perhaps better known as the Mingbo Eiger due to the appearance of its northeast face, which is clearly seen from Ama Dablam. Omoga Ri Chang is a short distance west along the watershed ridge from Nare Ri Shar.
On October 26 they climbed a couloir on the left side of the northwest face and that evening communicated from their bivouac that site they were in good shape. They were never heard from again. Helicopter searches revealed tracks on the upper north ridge, which suggested the climbers had turned around at 5,900m and during their descent were swept away by an avalanche. Equipment was spotted in the debris below the face, and later, after an extensive search, the three bodies were excavated and repatriated to France.
