Abandoned on Everest He Survived Alone
from Mesa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A 52-year-old sherpa survived six days on Everest after being abandoned, falling into a crevasse and hit by an avalanche—yet he walked himself down the mountain, aided by an unexpected snowpack shift that freed him. Last seen May 29, he vanished as others celebrated the season’s end; search efforts were abandoned, even as ladders were removed. On June 4, a garbage crew found him crawling on a glacier, two days after being trapped. He was flown to Kathmandu and is recovering. No rescue team was involved—he saved himself. The mountaineering world calls it a miracle, but it’s a chilling reminder of Everest’s dangers and the urgent need to never leave anyone behind. Authorities are now investigating his employer.
