Nepali Sherpa Guide Found Alive After Six Days Missing on Mount Everest
Dawa Sherpa, a Nepali guide, was found alive after being missing for six days on Mount Everest. He was discovered by a clearing crew as he crawled down snowy slopes near the Khumbu Icefall. Dawa, 52, was last seen on May 29 while descending the mountain but did not reach base camp, although his client, a Polish climber, did. His family had already begun funeral rituals, believing he had died. A rescue helicopter transported him to HAMS Hospital in Kathmandu, where his family awaited. The search for Dawa was delayed, and initial rescue attempts were unsuccessful. The discovery was made by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, which manages climbing routes and cleanup on Everest.
