Co Longford climber Paul Devaney, who had postponed his last of seven summit climbs on Everest last year after an avalanche claimed the lives of 16 Sherpas, has described his narrow escape on Saturday as lucky.
Paul was just 50m from the full impact of the avalanche when it tore through base camp.
Paul managed to film the dramatic avalanche triggered by the devastating Nepal earthquake which killed 5,000 people.
The astonishing footage captured can be seen below or click on the following link to listen to his interview with The Last Word this evening.
