Controversy Erupts Over Everest Climber's Gratitude towards Rescuer

A Malaysian climber rescued from Mount Everest's "death zone" is facing social media backlash for failing to acknowledge the Sherpa who saved his life. Ravichandran Tharumalingam thanked his sponsors and partners in an Instagram post but omitted Gelje Sherpa's name. Gelje carried the climber down to Everest's Camp 4, where other sherpas eventually assisted him. Ravichandran eventually acknowledged Gelje in a list of sherpas who pitched in to rescue him. The incident has sparked a social media backlash, with many accusing Ravichandran of being ungrateful to the Sherpa who saved his life.
