A Sherpa climbing guide who was believed to have died high on Mount Everest was found crawling back to Base Camp after spending almost a week on the mountain with no food or bottled oxygen.
For six days, there had been no radio contact or sign of Hillary Dawa Sherpa, 52, who was last seen on May 29 resting above Camp 3, which sits at 7,060 meters (23,163 feet).
With Hillary Dawa alone on the world’s tallest mountain in perilous conditions for so long, his family had already begun funeral rites for him.
But tragedy turned to joy on Thursday when a cleaning crew spotted him crawling through the icefall, exhausted and frostbitten, but alive.
This story is a lesson for us all.
Our lives are PRECIOUS and they are worth fighting for!
