Daniel Paul Paterson, 40, and Pas Tenji Sherpa, 23, have not been heard from since they reached the summit at about 4.40am local time on Tuesday, Nepalese officials said.
A British climber and his guide are missing on Mount Everest after ice collapsed and fell on their expedition, according to local reports.
Mr Paterson's partner Beck Woodhead said yesterday that she had not heard from her partner and was waiting for news with their families. 'Eyewitnesses reported the incident took place between Summit Ridge and South Summit and some climbers were swept away in Kangshung Face,' he said. It comes after Mongolian climbers Usukhjargal Tsedendamba, 53, and Purevsuren Lkhagvajav, 31, went missing on Everest on May 13.
The fitness enthusiast had dedicated his climb to a late friend from Wakefield Crossfield Club, and recently announced the group had raised £10,000 for her family
