Sherpa's heroic rescue in Mount Everest's death zone.

A Nepali sherpa named Gelje stopped his client's summit push to save a Malaysian climber in Mount Everest's "death zone," an area with low levels of oxygen where climbers can die if they remain too long. Gelje and another guide carried the man on their backs for nearly 1,968 feet down the mountain, and a helicopter eventually lifted him to base camp. Gelje plans to climb back up the mountain once he has time to recover. This year, 12 people have died and five are missing on the mountain, the highest in eight years.
