A well-known Yemeni climber known as 'al-Qa'qa' — dubbed the 'Spider-Man of Yemen' — slipped and fell into a hot, sulfurous volcanic crater in the ad-Dali Governorate, according to N12. Rescue teams and local residents have been searching for his body since, but have not yet located it, hampered by the water depth and lack of advanced diving equipment in the area.
A tragic incident reported from Yemen: al-Qa'qa, a well-known climber nicknamed the 'Spider-Man of Yemen' for his daring ascents of steep cliffs and dangerous volcanic sites, slipped during a climb and fell into the hot, sulfurous water at the bottom of a volcanic crater in the Damt area of the ad-Dali Governorate in southern Yemen. According to reports from N12 (Asaf Rozentzweig), his Facebook page had amassed over 250,000 followers who tracked his dangerous stunts. Rescue teams and local residents have been working to locate his body since, but have not yet succeeded, partly due to the water depth and the lack of advanced rescue and diving capabilities in the area. This is an ongoing developing story; no further details on the recovery effort have been released yet.
