A Sherpa guide who went missing on Mount Everest was found alive after spending nearly a week alone on the mountain. Dawa Sherpa, 52, was discovered crawling toward base camp by a cleanup team near the Khumbu Icefall, just above Everest Base Camp.
He had last been seen descending the mountain on May 29 after guiding a Polish climber. While his client reached base camp safely, Dawa never arrived, prompting concerns for his safety.
Rescuers carried him down the mountain before he was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Kathmandu. His wife and daughter, who had already begun funeral rituals after losing hope of finding him alive, were waiting to welcome him back. The rescue came at the end of Everest’s busiest climbing season on record.
