Sherpa Guide Survives a Week on Everest
A 52-year-old Sherpa guide was found alive after six days alone on Mount Everest, having fallen into a crevasse and spent days without food or oxygen. He was rescued near the icefall by a cleanup crew, despite the family having begun funeral rites, and was airlifted to a hospital in Kathmandu for treatment. His survival highlights the dangers of Everest, amid a record season with over 1,000 climbers, long queues, and increasing safety concerns related to commercial guiding practices.
