Rajasthan-based Anurag Maloo slipped into a crevasse below the 6,000 metres point between camp 3 and camp 2 while descending Mount Annapurna early on April 17. When climbers from Nepal and Poland heard about Maloo, they scoured one of the highest and most difficult peaks to summit for three days to look for the missing Indian climber. The Indian Express reconstructs the "highest rescue effort in the world” from a crevasse that is "the most dangerous point" on April 20
The family hopes that Anurag makes a miraculous return like Baljeet Kaur, who scaled the summit Monday but fell ill on her way down. She reportedly spent the night on the mountain before being rescued.
