The search for Shrinivas Sainis Dattatraya, who summited Mt Everest but could not make his way down on May 19, has been arguably the most high-profile incident in the 2023 spring climbing season of the Himalayas.
“But in the end, the mountain has the last say,” wrote singer Sushma Soma on Instagram, quoting her husband, Mt Everest summiter Shrinivas Sainis Dattatraya, Indian-origin climber from Singapore. The family appears to have accepted that he may never be found.
