Sherpa Guide Rescues Climber From Everest Death Zone, Sacrificing Own Summit Bid

A Malaysian climber was clinging to a rope in extreme cold and was rescued by a Nepali sherpa guide.
The sherpa convinced his own client to abandon their summit attempt in order to help with the difficult rescue.
The rescue took place in the "death zone" above Camp 4 where temperatures can reach minus 30 degrees Celsius and rescues are nearly impossible.
The sherpa hauled the climber 600 meters down over six hours, saving his life.
The Malaysian climber was evacuated by air and the sherpa's client also abandoned their climb.
