据组织搜救的团队透露，一名上周在陪同客户下撤珠峰时失联的夏尔巴向导已被发现生还。在这座世界最高峰的恶劣环境中幸存下来，被尼泊尔登山界誉为“奇迹”。
52岁的达瓦·夏尔巴在爬向大本营时被发现，目前已与家人团聚，其家人此前已对他生还不抱希望。
“在如此严酷的环境中在山上撑过这么多天，这简直就是奇迹，”尼泊尔登山界领军人物昂·策林·夏尔巴说道，“夏尔巴人在山区长大，天生体格强壮……换作其他人，可能就撑不过去了。”
达瓦最后一次被人看到是在5月29日左右下撤珠峰，但他并未抵达大本营，而他的客户则平安返回。随着登山季结束，登山路线已被拆除，他们是最后一批在山上的登山者之一。
协调本次搜救的8K探险队的彭巴·夏尔巴表示，一支清洁团队于周四上午在大本营上方昆布冰瀑附近的雪坡上发现了正在爬行的达瓦。
他很快被转移至安全地带并获得了食物和水。一架救援直升机将他送往加德满都的HAMS医院，其妻子和女儿此前已开始为他举行葬礼仪式，正在医院等候。
“我们先是从当地新闻和一位熟人打来的电话中得知他还活着……他正被送下来，”他的妻子达穆·夏尔巴说道。
尽管达瓦已于上周失联，但搜救团队的组建出现了延误。官方未说明延误原因，而当最终派出直升机搜救时，并未发现他的踪迹。
其家人此前已放弃希望。达瓦十几岁的女儿门多·拉穆·夏尔巴表示，他们当时正在举行持续数日的葬礼仪式的第二天。
“我们刚听到救援消息时，无法确定那人是不是我们的父亲，”门多·拉穆说道，“所以我们要求对方发来照片，确认之后才敢相信，当时非常开心。”
达瓦的妻子告诉法新社，在得知丈夫生还前，她已经开始为丈夫的灵魂举行临终祈祷仪式。她表示，达瓦在医院意识清醒，正从“一些冻伤”中恢复。
发现他的团队属于萨加玛塔污染控制委员会，该委员会会在每个登山季开始时在路线上铺设梯子和绳索，待登山者离开后拆除设备并清理营地。
达瓦最后一次被人看到是在三号营地上方名为“黄带”的地点，三号营地海拔23622英尺。大本营海拔为17388英尺。
达瓦受雇于加德满都一家名为“喜马拉雅穿越”的小型公司，当时他正带领一名波兰登山者。他来自珠峰南部的奥卡尔顿加镇。
夏尔巴族群原本多为喜马拉雅山区深处的牧民和商人，直到20世纪50年代尼泊尔开放边境。他们出色的耐力和对山区的熟悉度很快让他们成为抢手的向导和搬运工，最终主导了喜马拉雅登山业务。
今年5月，超过1000名登山者及其向导登顶珠峰，这是这座世界最高峰有史以来最繁忙的登山季。由于大本营上方路线上出现大块浮冰，清理工作耗时约两周，登山季因此推迟开启。
官员们表示，登山者们在5月21日创下了一项纪录，当天有274人成功登顶尼泊尔一侧的珠峰。专家此前已警告过度拥挤可能带来的危险，尤其是在创纪录当天有两名登山者遇难之后。
一名夏尔巴向导告诉法新社，登山热度不断上升不仅加剧了珠峰的拥堵，也意味着尝试攀登的队伍中经验不足的登山者比例更高。
“当局有必要管控人数，”卡米·丽塔·夏尔巴说道，“他们只应允许合格的登山者入境——应该设置名额限制。”
珠峰海拔29032英尺的顶峰于1953年5月29日由新西兰人埃德蒙·希拉里和夏尔巴向导丹增·诺尔盖首次登顶。

Guide missing for a week on Mount Everest found crawling to base camp: “Nothing short of a miracle”

A Sherpa guide who went missing last week while descending Mount Everest with a client has been found alive, according to the crew that led the search for him. His survival amid treacherous conditions on the world’s tallest peak has been hailed as “a miracle” by the mountaineering community in Nepal.
Dawa Sherpa, 52, was located while crawling down to base camp and has since been reunited with his family, who said they had given up hope for his return.
“This is nothing short of a miracle surviving so many days on the mountains facing such harsh condition,” said Ang Tshering Sherpa, a leading figure in the community. “Sherpas are built tough growing up in the mountains. … If there was someone else in his place they might not have survived.”
Dawa was last seen around May 29 descending the mountain, but he did not reach base camp even though his client did. The pair were among the last climbers on the mountain as the climbing season came to an end and the route was dismantled.
Dawa was located by a cleaning crew Thursday morning as he was crawling down the snowy slopes around the Khumbu Icefall, just above base camp, said Pemba Sherpa of 8K Expeditions, which coordinated the search.
He was quickly carried down to safety and given food and water. A rescue helicopter flew him to HAMS Hospital in Kathmandu, where his wife and daughter, who already had begun funeral rituals for him, were waiting.
“We first heard that he was still alive on the local news and from a person we know who called with the news that … he is being brought down,” said his wife, Damu Sherpa.
Though Dawa had been missing since last week, there was a delay in organizing a search team. No reasons were given for the delay, but when helicopters were finally sent to look for him, they could not find him.

His family had given up hope. Dawa’s teenage daughter, Mendo Lhamu Sherpa, said they were on the second day of a funeral ritual, which lasts for several days.
“When we first heard about it (the rescue), we could not be sure if that person was indeed our father,” Mendo Lhamu said. “So to be certain we asked for photos to be sent and then only we were sure and very happy.”
Dawa’s wife told AFP that she had begun to offer last rite prayers for her husband’s soul before learning of his survival. She said he was conscious at the hospital and recovering from “some frostbite.”
The team that spotted him was part of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, which lays the ladders and ropes on the route at the start of each climbing season and then removes the equipment and cleans up the site after climbers have left.
Dawa was last seen at spot called Yellow Band above the Camp 3, which is located at 23,622 feet. The base camp is at 17,388 feet.
Dawa works for a small Kathmandu-based company called Himalayan Traverse, and he was guiding a Polish climber. He comes from the town of Okhaldhunga, south of Everest.

Members of the Sherpa community were mostly yak herders and traders living deep within the Himalayas until Nepal opened its borders in the 1950s. Their stamina and familiarity with the mountains quickly made them sought-after guides and porters, eventually allowing them to dominate the Himalyan climbing business.
More than 1,000 climbers and their guides scaled Everest this May, which was the busiest climbing season ever on the world’s highest mountain. It began late because of a massive ice block on the route just above the base camp that took about two weeks to clear.
Climbers set a record on May 21, when 274 of them successfully ascended Nepal’s side of the mountain in a single day, officials said. Experts have warned of the potential dangers of overcrowding, especially after two climbers died around the time of that record-setting day.
Increasing popularity not only increases congestion on the mountain, but also means less experienced climbers are more likely to be among the groups attempting the trek, one sherpa told AFP.
“There is a need for authorities to control this number,” Kami Rita Sherpa said. “They should let in only climbers of quality — there should be a limit.”
Everest’s 29,032-foot high peak was first climbed on May 29, 1953, by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay.
