Nirmal Purja Instagram – RESCUE AT SOUTH SUMMIT/WORLD’s HIGHEST RESCUE!
Some of my Elite Exped team and I were involved in rescuing a climber from another guiding company on our way down from our Everest summit.
We found the climber Capt Dipendra Singh khatri , from another team, at the South Summit of Everest (8,749m). The climber had been there overnight.
I am thankful to my clients Jack and Will Lundin, for releasing me and Pasang Jharok to go and help with this rescue. Thank you to @anyatraveler for releasing @guideyukta and @alasdair_mckenzie for releasing Ki Temba to help. Even though they have paid us to be their guide, our clients kindly released us to help in this rescue.
Together we brought the climber all the way down to Camp 4 (7,950m) and there we handed the climber into the care of two Sherpas from the other guiding company.
We are now all safe at Camp 2 – together with our clients who re-joined us at Camp 4. We understand the climber and Sherpas have not made it back to Camp 2 yet. We wish the rescued climber and the team the very best and all we hope for is that they are safe.
I am very proud of my @eliteexped team and clients – on the mountain we are all one community and we look out for each other.
Note: I have never charge a penny for all the rescues I have done & that’s also including my team from @eliteexped ( Annapurna, Kanchenjunga Everest x 2 )
Leaving someone behind isn’t in the blood 👊🏽💥
