A Malaysian mountaineer who climbed Mount Everest was rescued by a guide for 6 hours on his back. A real miracle given the altitude, nearly 9,000 meters and the lack of oxygen.
1 a.m. A few hundred meters from the summit, Nepali guide Khelje Bemba meets a Malaysian tourist, clinging to a cold and frozen rope. The man is unconscious at 8,500 meters… his hours are numbered.
Unable to mobilize the helicopter, the Sherpa decides to send his entire team up to rescue the climber in distress. “It took me 5 to 6 hours to go from 8,500 meters to 7,900. It was very tough.”A mountain guide explains.
The miraculous climber is now out of danger after reaching Camp No. 4, which is less than 8,000 meters away. This recovery is rare and impressive…
Amateur mountaineers say this is a real feat. Even if this is done using an oxygen cylinder in extreme cases. “It’s really quite exceptionalAmateur mountaineer recognizes Anne Delandscheer. We are talking about existing death zones above 8,000 meters or thereabouts.
“Furthermore, if you have to carry this Malaysian who weighs at least 70 kg… without an oxygen mask, it seems to me impossible”Another amateur mountaineer, Jean-Luc Lanay, believes in his role.
Due to unfavorable weather or lack of preparation, 17 climbers have already died this spring of 2023….to date, this is the deadliest season in Everest’s history.
