Sherpa's heroic high-altitude rescues on Mount Everest.
TL;DR Summary
A Malaysian climber was rescued from Mount Everest's "death zone" by a Sherpa in a rare high-altitude rescue. The climber was carried down from below the summit after narrowly surviving the harsh elements. The Sherpa hauled the climber about 1,900 feet down from the Balcony area to the South Col, where another guide joined the rescue. The climber was then airlifted to base camp. At least 12 climbers have died so far this year on Mount Everest.
