A seasoned climber who found himself at death's door on Mount Everest was incredibly fortunate to be rescued, but after he thanked his sponsors instead of the sherpa who saved him, he has been the recipient of some repeated online criticism.
Tharumalingam was, as Gelje put it, "about to die" and had "nothing" when he was found.
Gelje Sherpa says that he and his client made a decision to abandon their climb and instead attempt to save Tharumalingam. Gelje strapped the Malaysian climber to his back and then carried him down 1,900 feet according to, which reportedly took close to six hours before another sherpa was able to join in and help the rescue.
It is almost impossible to rescue climbers at that altitude," Department of Tourism official Bigyan Koirala said according to Reuters. "It is a very rare operation."
