Sherpa's Heroic Rescue in Mount Everest's Death Zone.
TL;DR Summary
Two Chinese climbers abandoned their ascent to the summit of Mount Everest to rescue an unconscious woman who was out of oxygen and suffering from frostbite. Fan Jiangtao and Xie Ruxiang spent two hours taking the woman down a steep slope and eventually got her to Camp 4 below the “death zone”. Fan even helped pay the woman’s $10,000 rescue fee. Although they didn't reach the summit, Fan said saving a person’s life is far more valuable than reaching the peak.
