In what authorities are calling an "astonishing" testament of human survival, a Mount Everest sherpa was found alive on Thursday after he went missing six days ago on the world's tallest mountain.
The sherpa, identified as 52-year-old Hillary Dawa Sherpa, was discovered by a garbage collection team that spotted the mountain guide "sliding and crawling" down an icefall just above Everest base camp, officials said.
