An Irishman's record-breaking attempt to climb Mount Everest without oxygen was thwarted at the last minute due to bad weather.
James McManus, 39, from Roscrea, Co Tipperary, hoped to become the first ever Irish person to summit the world's highest peak with no supplementary oxygen.
He had reached Camp 2 base camp at 6,400m on Monday and had planned to make the final climb to reach the summit on Tuesday.
