Rescue teams in Yemen have been unable to locate the body of the well-known climber 'al-Qa'qa' — dubbed the 'Spider-Man of Yemen' — who slipped and fell into a hot, sulfurous volcanic crater in the ad-Dali Governorate, according to N12. Local crews lack advanced diving equipment for the deep water at the crater's bottom.
As The Zioneer reported earlier (09:01), the climber known as al-Qa'qa — who gained a wide following on Facebook for scaling steep cliffs and volcanic sites in Yemen — died after falling into a volcanic crater in the ad-Dali Governorate. Updated reports from N12 now clarify that the accident occurred while he was climbing into the crater itself, and that he slipped into the water at the bottom. Rescue teams and local residents have been searching for his body but have been hampered by the depth of the water and the lack of advanced diving equipment in the area. No recovery has been reported as of the latest updates.
