Nepali mountaineer Dawa Sherpa, 57, who survived after being stranded and left on the upper slopes of Mount Everest, is recovering after being moved out of intensive care, his family says. Sherpa spent about six days dragging himself to safety following his disappearance during the May 30 period of late spring climbing, according to reports. His survival has drawn widespread celebration among fellow climbers, who point to the extreme conditions he endured. At the same time, his case has prompted criticism from parts of the mountaineering community and from family members, who express anger that he was not found sooner. Both accounts describe a continuing investigation or review into how the search and response unfolded, with public calls growing for a more thorough probe. The reports do not provide additional investigative findings, but they emphasize that Sherpa’s recovery is ongoing while scrutiny of the circumstances around his disappearance increases.
