In April 2023, beneath the towering shadow of world's tenth highest peak, a nightmare unfolded on Annapurna I, one of the deadliest mountains on Earth. Anurag Maloo, an Indian climber with a mission larger than summits, the goal was to advance awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through his “Climbing for SDGs”, had fallen down into the crevasse. On April 17, while descending from Camp III, around 5,800 meters, Anurag slipped. In seconds, he disappeared into a deep crevasse, a fall of more than 300 meters into one of the most unforgiving places on the mountain. The ice swallowed him whole. Most believed he was gone. But hope refused to die. For two days, in perilous conditions, a daring international team launched a rescue mission like no other. Climbers Adam Bielecki and Mariusz Hatala from Poland joined forces with Nepali rescuers Chhepal Sherpa, Lakpa Nurbu Sherpa, Dawa Nurbu Sherpa, Lakpa Sherpa, and Tashi Sherpa. From base camp, coordination was led by Chhang Dawa Sherpa. On April 20, nearly 72 hours after the fall, they descended into the crevasse, a dark, suffocating shaft of snow and ice and found Anurag. He was unconscious, severely hypothermic, but alive. A miracle. The mountain had shown mercy. Anurag was carefully hauled out and was first airlifted to Pokhara, then flown to Kathmandu, where he received intensive care. Once stable, he was transferred to India for advanced medical treatment. Anurag’s rescue became a story not just of survival, but of teamwork, and belief that even in the deepest void, life can rise again. Today, Anurag’s battle continues. He lost all the fingertips on his right hand and undergone therapy to regain movement. His legs are recovering their strength after losing all muscle memory. Large skin grafts cover much of his right side, but his organs are miraculously intact. His spirit remains unbroken. From the depths of ice, Anurag returned, and now he climbs the steepest mountain of all: recovery.

This is the Khumbu Icefall on Mt Everest, one of the most dangerous sections of the standard route to the world's highest peak. What was once a permanently frozen landscape is changing before our eyes. Meltwater streams now cut through parts of the glacier that remained ice-covered for generations. Often called the "Water Tower of Asia," the Himalaya provides freshwater to nearly two billion people. Scientists warn that up to one-third of its glacier ice could disappear by 2100. As the glaciers retreat, the consequences will extend far beyond the mountains. Video ©: Pega Sherpa.

The Khumbu Glacier has revealed another silent tragedy, a body emerging from ice that once kept its secrets buried for years, pictured this season 2026. What was frozen in place is now being exposed as temperatures rise across the Himalaya, turning Everest into one of the clearest frontlines of climate change. This season, the warning signs continue higher up in the Khumbu Icefall, where massive unstable serac blocks have delayed route opening and increased danger for climbers and Sherpas. On Everest, the past is resurfacing, and the future is becoming more uncertain.

On 02.10.2021, Rustam Nabiev scaled Manaslu (8,163 m) without legs. The mountain didn’t care about his limitations. Neither did he. So… what’s your excuse?
