Moment climber found in rare Everest ‘death zone’ rescue
Nepali guide Gelje Sherpa found a Malaysian climber shivering and clutching a rope in the area of Mount Everest called the "death zone", where temperatures can dip to -30C.
He carried the climber down from 8,500m above sea level over the course of six hours.
Nepali tourism official Bigyan Koirala said it was "almost impossible to rescue climbers at that altitude" and that it was a "very rare operation".
