A Sherpa guide was found alive on Mount Everest on Thursday a week after he went missing. Dawa Sherpa was last seen descending around May 29. He didn’t make it to base camp even though his client did. They pair were among the last climbers of the season.

Dawa was located by a cleaning crew — which lays ladders and ropes on the route at the start of each season, and removes the equipment and cleans after the climbers have left — as he was crawling down the snowy slopes.
