Sherpa found alive after six days missing on Everest in 'miracle' self-rescue

Dawa Sherpa survived six days alone at extreme altitude with frostbite; five people died this season on Everest including three Nepalis in preparation activities.

In the thin, unforgiving air above 7,500 meters on Mount Everest, a 52-year-old Nepali guide named Dawa Sherpa did what experts believed no one had ever done: he survived six days alone and descended under his own power to safety. Separated from his group during a descent that had already stretched eleven grueling days, he was found crawling through the Khumbu Icefall by cleaners near Base Camp — frostbitten, but alive. His survival arrives in a season of record summits and quiet grief, a reminder that the mountain's arithmetic, so often fatal, occasionally yields something it has no name for.
