Tributes to Irish climber Alan Mahon who died on Europe’s highest mountain
Tributes have been paid to an Irish mountaineer who died after his climbing team was caught in bad weather on the southern Russian peak of Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest mountain.
Father of three Alan Mahon (40) of Monasterevin, Co Kildare, who died on Sunday, had been with a five-man Irish group attempting the north route of Mount Elbrus last week.
