Sherpa's Heroic Rescue in Mount Everest's Death Zone.

A sherpa guide, Gelje Sherpa, rescued a Malaysian climber from near-certain death in Mount Everest's death zone, an area approaching the summit made especially lethal by low oxygen and frigid temperatures. The experienced guide had to wrap the climber for warmth, load him onto his back and carry him down to the mountain's base camp. The climber was close to becoming another fatality in a deadly climbing season on Everest that has already claimed the lives of 12 mountaineers.
