Sherpa falls into crevasse during Mt Everest climb. Watch how he was rescued

“During every climbing season on Mount Everest, many brave rescues take place. The media tends to focus and highlight the rescues involving clients and foreign climbers, but there are lesser-known stories, such as this one, where a sherpa’s life is saved. We successfully rescued a sherpa who had fallen into a crevasse between camp 1 and camp 2, and it’s a miracle that he survived. This story is a reminder of the sacrifices and risks mountain workers face in making #Everest expeditions possible. #Nepal #himalaya,” Tamang wrote as he posted the video.

The clip opens to show the sherpa stuck in waist-deep snow inside a crevasse. As the video progresses, another person is seen digging the snow around the sherpa to help him get out.
