Left For Dead Twice on Everest, and Walked Down | TripMag Stories

On the night of 10 May 1996, eight climbers died in the worst single storm in Everest's recorded history. A 49-year-old Dallas pathologist was twice declared dead and left in the snow at 8,000 metres. He woke up. He stood up. He walked down. He lost his nose, his right hand and most of his left hand. He has, in the 28 years since, walked back into the rest of his life.
