A Nepali climbing guide who went missing on Mount Everest for six days and was feared dead has been found alive after crawling back to Base Camp, officials said on Thursday.
The experienced Hillary Dawa Sherpa vanished on the upper reaches of the world’s highest mountain early on May 30.
He was found on Thursday morning close to Base Camp by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), a Nepali team that helps set routes on Everest and clean up waste left behind.
“He was crawling down,” Pemba Sherpa of 8K Expeditions, which was overseeing search and rescue efforts, said.
“A helicopter has been sent to bring him to a hospital in Kathmandu.”
Climber Chris Thrall, a former British Royal Marine, said he successfully summited the 8,849-metre (29,032-foot) peak with Sherpa around 5pm on May 29.
