A British climber has been rescued from Mount Everest after a harrowing six-day ordeal, with the Royal Navy coordinating a complex evacuation from the world's highest peak. The climber, whose identity has not been released pending family notification, was stranded at an altitude of over 8,000 metres after suffering severe altitude sickness and frostbite. The rescue operation, described by officials as one of the most challenging in recent years, involved a coordinated effort between the Royal Navy, Nepalese authorities, and international climbing teams.
The climber was airlifted to a military hospital in Kathmandu where they are now in a stable condition. This rescue highlights the ongoing risks faced by mountaineers on Everest, where the number of rescues has increased amid a surge in commercial expeditions.
