Sherpa rescues Malaysian climber from Everest's 'death zone'

A Nepali sherpa guide, Gelje Sherpa, rescued a Malaysian climber from the "death zone" of Mount Everest, where temperatures can dip to minus 30 degrees Celsius or lower. Gelje hauled the climber 600 metres down from the Balcony area to the South Col, over a period of about six hours, where another guide joined the rescue.

Nepali Sherpa ties record with 26th Everest ascent.

Pasang Dawa Sherpa, a Sherpa guide, has climbed Mount Everest for the 26th time, matching the record set by fellow Nepalese guide Kami Rita. The season's first wave of climbers reached the summit this weekend as Sherpa guides fixed ropes and made paths for the hundreds of climbers who will attempt to scale the peak over the next few weeks. This year's climbing was slightly delayed after three Sherpa climbers fell into a deep crevasse on a treacherous section of the mountain in April.
