Gelja Sherpa, a Nepali climber, found a Malaysian climber wearily clinging to the ropes in an area called the “death zone” on Mount Everest, where the temperature is -30 degrees Celsius. The mountaineer, who had been waiting for 6 hours, was brought down from an altitude of 8,500 meters.
Nepali tourism expert, Bigyan Koirala, stated that this type of rescue is rare and said, “It is nearly impossible to save mountaineers at that altitude.”
