Snowfall happens in the rocky slope.

Kaleem Khan, a climber, released a video of a massive snowslide that occurred in August at the top of Istor-o-Nal in the Hindu mountain range of Kush, Pakistan, and MSNhum October 31. Istor-o-Nal is one of the highest peaks of Hindu Kush with a height of 7,403 meters.

"This is the first time we have seen such a spectacle. This phenomenon is rare and strange because the big snowslides often occur on the snow slopes, but this is in the rocky slope," Kaleem Khan said. He and his group of climbers stood nearby and recorded images of snow falling down the mountain slope.

Mountaineering team members worried that the snowslide would spill over to them, but Khan assured them they would be safe. In the end, no one was hurt. Previously, an avalanche occurred in Chitral, Pakistan in February that killed 13 people and buried many houses.
