Nepali climbing guide Hillary Dawa Sherpa miraculously survived six days stranded on Mount Everest , sustaining himself by chewing ice .
The 52-year-old was spotted crawling towards Base Camp on Thursday, having gone missing on 29 May after his oxygen supply ran out.
Dawa recounted finding chocolates in his pocket and being trapped in a crevasse for two and a half days before an avalanche helped him escape.
He was rescued by a cleaning crew near the Khumbu Icefall and flown to Hams Hospital in Kathmandu, where he is being treated for frostbite, dehydration, and a fractured bone.
Dawa's family has filed a police complaint and a grievance with the Department of Tourism, alleging negligence and discrimination in the delayed rescue efforts.
