What makes Broad Peak a risky climb?

Famous climber from Nepal, Nirmal Purja, lost his life on Broad Peak following an avalanche. Standing at 8,051 metres, Broad Peak is frequently viewed as an easier mountain to climb among the 'eight-thousanders.' However, its 1.5-kilometre ridge at the top forces mountaineers to face harsh weather for extended periods. The higher parts of the mountain, especially the area located between Camp 2 and Camp 3, have a high risk of slab avalanches.
