On Friday, May 10, 1996, Fischer was leading a group of climbers up [[Mount Everest]] when an intense snow storm trapped several of them very high on the mountain. Snow flurries were so intense that it became impossible to see and the cimbers were not able to descend, and Fischer perished on the mountain. | On Friday, May 10, 1996, Fischer was leading a group of climbers up [[Mount Everest]] when an intense snow storm trapped several of them very high on the mountain.
