The viral video shows how a stranded sherpa was rescued after falling into a deep crevasse between Everest's Camp 1 and Camp 2.

For decades, adventurers and climbers from around the globe have flocked to Mount Everest, aiming to conquer the summit of the world's tallest mountain range. Amid tales of trekkers encountering dead climbers along the arduous journey, there are also remarkable accounts of miraculous rescues, where stranded climbers in the frigid, high-altitude region were saved. The invaluable assistance of sherpas, renowned for their expertise in guiding and supporting climbers, becomes crucial as they tirelessly strive to lead expeditions and undertake rescue operations.

Although such incidents are not uncommon, particularly during the climbing season, they often fail to capture widespread media attention.

However, a recent rescue story has emerged, shared by Gesman Tamang, an experienced mountaineer and high-altitude mountain guide. Tamang recounts how his team successfully saved a stranded sherpa who had fallen into a deep crevasse between Camp 1 and Camp 2.

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.
