Mountaineer and sport master Ch.Boldbaatar is still missing since a group of mountaineers went climbing at Altai Tavan Bogd in Bayan-Ulgii aimag last week.

State Merit Athlete Ch.Boldbaatar climbed Altai Tavan Bogd accompanied by his daughter, however went missing during the descent from the 4051 meter high Malchin peak. His daughter contacted local police and the emergency office asking for support. The missing mountaineer is suspected to have fallen into a crevice by his daughter.

The rescue team resumed the search for the missing mountaineer in Altai Tavan Bogd, Bayan-Ulgii aimag after bad weather. Local mountaineers from Bayan-Ulgii aimag have also joined the search team to help.

However due to the nature of the terrain, non-professional mountaineers may find it difficult to conduct a search in the mountain, so a mountaineer team from Ulaanbaatar may head to Bayan-Ulgii. If the search team does not find the missing man today professional mountaineers will be sent to conduct a search around the Malchin peak.
