Missing Everest guide left for dead is rescued after CRAWLING on frostbitten limbs down mountain for nearly a week
A SHERPA guide who crawled 6,000 feet down to Mount Everest’s base camp a week after going missing has finally been rescued.
The family of Dawa Sherpa, 52, had given up hope after being told that he had died while descending the world’s tallest mountain.
His wife and daughter had started preparing his funeral service until they were told about his “miracle” survival.
Last seen 24,000ft above sea level, Dawa was presumed to be Everest’s latest victim.
He was last seen at spot called Yellow Band above the Camp 3, which is located at 23,622 feet.
His Polish client made it to base camp – at 17,388 feet – but he never did.
They were among the last climbers on the mountain as the season came to an end and the treacherous route was dismantled.
Without any oxygen and food, there was a minuscule chance that Dawa would survive Everest’s treacherous conditions – against impossible odds.
A cleaning crew located him this morning as he was crawling down the snowy slopes around the Khumbu Icefall, just above base camp.
The guide was quickly carried down to safety and given food and water.
A rescue helicopter flew him to HAMS Hospital in Kathmandu, where his wife and daughter were waiting.
“We first heard that he was still alive on the local news and from a person we know who called with the news that … he is being brought down,” said his wife, Damu Sherpa.
His teenage daughter Mendo Lhamu added: “When we first heard about it (the rescue), we could not be sure if that person was indeed our father.
“So to be certain we asked for photos to be sent and then only we were sure and very happy.”
Nishant Dhakal, a doctor in the intensive care unit of Kathmandu’s HAMS Hospital, confirmed that Dawa is “awake and undergoing treatment.”
His daughter added about their first encounter after the rescue mission: “He recognised me … is good and speaks. We are happy.”
The extent of his injuries remains unclear. He is believed to be suffering from severe frostbite and exhaustion.
Though Dawa had been missing since last week, there was a big delay in organising a search team.
No reasons were given for the delay, but when helicopters were finally sent to look for him, they could not find him.
Dawa works for a small Kathmandu-based company called Himalayan Traverse. He comes from the town of Okhaldhunga, south of Everest.
Nepal’s mountaineering community has hailed his survival as miraculous.
Shortly after Dawa went missing, Everest Today, posted: “For decades, Sherpas have been the backbone of Everest.
“They fix the ropes, break the trail, carry the loads, support clients, and make countless summit dreams possible.
“Much of the commercial climbing industry that once depended on Western guiding companies now relies heavily on the skill, strength, and sacrifice of Sherpa climbers and their companies.
“Yet when a Sherpa goes missing high on the mountain, where is that same urgency? Where is that same determination to bring him home?”
