其家人周二表示，一名在被遗弃后耗时6天自行爬下珠穆朗玛峰的尼泊尔登山者已转出重症监护室，目前正在缓慢康复中。此前这名登山者在病床上曾表示，他曾以为自己会死在这座世界最高峰上。
他奇迹般生还的消息在登山同行中引发了庆祝，但也让家属和登山界人士感到愤怒，因为他们未能更早找到他。
57岁的达瓦·夏尔巴于5月30日在这座世界最高峰的上部陡坡极端恶劣天气中失踪，当时正值春季登山季的最后几次攀登活动期间。
他于周四上午被发现，当时正朝着大本营爬行，随后被空运至加德满都，医生正在为他治疗冻伤、严重脱水和股骨骨折。
“他已经从重症监护室转到普通病房，治疗仍在进行中——他能说一点话，也能进食了，”他的亲属努鲁·夏尔巴告诉法新社。“医生正在观察他的手脚恢复情况。”
达瓦·夏尔巴被困在珠峰“死亡地带”附近的严寒中，那里的氧气含量极低，他表示自己几乎没有食物和水，撑过了数天。
“我本以为自己会这样殒命。我没有迷路，氧气耗尽后我就掉队了。氧气用完后，我就走不动了，”他在病床上告诉尼泊尔语的BBC频道。
“头两天我什么都没吃。后来我开始嚼冰块，牙齿很疼，但我还是使劲嚼，”他说。
他靠口袋里仅剩的几块巧克力和零食活了下来。
“他的遭遇存在疏忽”
达瓦·夏尔巴，也就是和传奇登山家埃德蒙·希拉里同名的“希拉里”，获救后告诉他人自己掉进了裂缝。
但他仍继续爬行，最终被萨加玛塔污染控制委员会的人员发现——这支尼泊尔团队负责在珠峰架设路线和清理遗留垃圾，当时他正缓慢朝着大本营移动。
“他的遭遇存在疏忽，”珠峰登顶者协会主席玛雅·夏尔巴周二对法新社表示。“必须展开调查，弄清事件全貌，以免此类事件再次发生。”
尼泊尔登山协会已呼吁成立政府委员会对此事件展开调查。
今年珠峰登山季已有至少五名登山者遇难——两名印度人和三名尼泊尔人。
“应当设置上限”
尼泊尔政府初步数据显示，今年已有超过1000名登山者登顶珠峰，成为有记录以来最繁忙的登山季。
政府通过发放珠峰登山许可证收取了超过700万美元的费用。
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。专家此前已警告过过度拥挤的潜在危险，尤其是在创纪录登顶当天有两名登山者遇难之后。
一名夏尔巴对法新社表示，登山热度上升不仅加剧了珠峰的拥堵，还意味着更多经验不足的登山者加入了攀登队伍。
“当局有必要管控登山人数，”卡米·丽塔·夏尔巴说。“他们只应允许合格的登山者入境——应当设置上限。”
Climber who spent 6 days dragging himself off Mount Everest is out of intensive care: “I thought I would perish”

A Nepali mountaineer who spent six days dragging himself off Mount Everest after being abandoned has been moved out of intensive care as he slowly recovers, his family said Tuesday. The update came after the climber said from his hospital bed that he thought he would die on the world’s highest peak.
His improbable survival has sparked celebration among fellow climbers, but also anger from family members and the mountaineering community over the failure to locate him sooner.
Dawa Sherpa, 57, disappeared in brutal conditions on the upper slopes of the world’s tallest mountain on May 30 during one of the final climbs of the spring season.
He was found on Thursday morning, crawling towards Base Camp, and airlifted to Kathmandu, where doctors are treating him for frostbite, severe dehydration and a fractured thigh bone.
“He has been shifted from the ICU (intensive care unit) to the ward and treatment is ongoing — he is able to speak a little and is eating,” his relative, Nuru Sherpa, told AFP. “Doctors are observing his hands and legs for improvement.”
Left stranded in freezing temperatures near Everest’s “death zone,” where oxygen levels are critically low, Dawa Sherpa said he survived for days with almost no food or water.
“I thought I would perish this way. I didn’t get lost. As the oxygen ran out, I fell behind. After the oxygen finished, I couldn’t walk,” he told BBC Nepali from his hospital bed.

“I didn’t eat anything for the first two days. Then I began chewing ice. It hurt my teeth. I chewed the ice hard,” he said.
He survived on a few chocolates and snacks he had in his pockets.
“Negligence in his case”
Dawa Sherpa, also known as “Hillary” like legendary climber Edmund Hillary, told others after his rescue that he had fallen into a crevasse.
But he crawled on and was found still slowly moving toward the Base Camp by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, a Nepali team that helps set routes on Everest and clean up waste left behind.
“There has been negligence in his case,” Maya Sherpa, president of the Everest Summiteers Association, told AFP on Tuesday. “An investigation has to take place to find out what exactly happened so that such incidents are not repeated.”
The Nepal Mountaineering Association has called for a government committee to investigate the incident.

At least five climbers — two Indians and three Nepalis — died during this year’s Everest season.
“There should be a limit”
More than 1,000 climbers reached Everest’s summit, according to preliminary Nepali government figures, making it the busiest season on record.
The government collected more than $7 million from issuing climbing permits for Everest.
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.”
