A Nepali climbing guide, Dawa Sherpa has shared how he survived a six-day ordeal on Mount Everest after being stranded high on the world's tallest peak, while battling extreme altitude, freezing temperatures, and exhaustion before eventually making his way back towards Base Camp in Nepal.
Sherpa, 57, was discovered alive by a clean-up team near the Khumbu Icefall, sliding down the mountain after being presumed dead. His family in Kathmandu had already begun the last rites when he was spotted and later airlifted to the hospital, where he is now being treated for dehydration, frostbite, and a fractured bone.
