Nepali climbing guide Hillary Dawa Sherpa is found alive on Mount Everest after being missing for about six days, multiple outlets report. Sherpa disappears on the mountain’s upper slopes in the early hours of May 30, with reports saying he was last seen descending around May 29 and did not reach Base Camp. He is later spotted crawling back down toward Base Camp in difficult conditions, with one report stating he survives without food or oxygen by eating ice. According to officials cited by several outlets, the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC)—a team involved in managing routes and cleaning up waste on Everest—finds him close to Base Camp on Thursday morning. Other details across reports include that Sherpa is a Nepalese guide in his 50s and was feared dead when he did not return. While outlets largely agree on the duration of the disappearance and the circumstances of the rescue, descriptions vary slightly in wording about where he is found and the exact observation timeline. Sherpa’s survival ends the period of uncertainty following his failure to arrive at Base Camp.
