‘Mission Danger’: A frozen climber is rescued from the ‘death zone’ on Everest (photo)

Everest carried out a unique rescue operation at the summit of the Himalayas, which was thought to be almost impossible, and rescued a frozen mountaineer in the “death zone”. Reported by The Mirror.

On May 18, Nepali guide Gelye Sherpa spotted a shivering Malaysian mountaineer helplessly clinging to a rope near the world’s highest peak. The man was supposed to be. The “death zone” where temperatures sometimes drop below -30°C.

The guide was taking another client up the mountain and noticed that the climber was holding on to the rope and was shivering with cold. It took Nepalis a total of six hours to rescue the Malaysian citizen.

According to him, the victim was wrapped in a sleeping bag, then dragged through the snow and, in turn, carried on his back to the camp. He was then transported to the base camp by helicopter.

Nepalese authorities allowed those who wished to climb the mountains from March to May 478. At least 12 of them died. This is the record for the last eight years. The search for the five missing persons continues.

Recall that the British veteran was the first climber to conquer Everest without two legs. Hari Buddha was the first mountaineer with an above-knee prosthesis to climb this high. He explained that the purpose of his job was to perceive the disabled differently and to force others to realize their dreams.

Everest is considered the main peak of the world, but the reputation of the deadliest mountain in the world still belongs to another lesser-known mountain.
