ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani doctor says a French climber rescued from a Himalayan peak is recovering and would be discharged from hospital soon.

Elisabeth Revol was rescued by a volunteers' team from a separate Polish expedition on Sunday from Nanga Parbat, also known as "killer mountain."

She was airlifted to Islamabad and was being treated at the Shifa International Hospital. The hospital doctor spoke on condition of anonymity under hospital regulations.

Earlier, the search for Revol's fellow climber, Polish national Tomasz Mackiewicz, was called off. He has been declared deceased.

Revol spoke briefly to local Geo TV, saying that she has had "some problem with fingers ... now it's ok."
