The rescue was delayed due to bad weather conditions, but the climber was found in surprisingly strong condition. The climbers, all from Malaysia, had experience on multiple high elevation peaks.

Juneau: On North America’s tallest mountain, Denali in Alaska, a climber from Malaysia was rescued after being stranded near the summit for three days. Unfortunately, his climbing partner did not survive the ordeal. The dramatic rescue took place at an altitude of 19,600 feet (5,974 metres) where the two climbers had sought shelter in a snow cave since late Tuesday. A third member of their team had already been rescued earlier in the week after descending to a lower camp on the mountain.
Despite challenging weather conditions with high winds and limited visibility, park personnel were able to reach the surviving climber on Friday morning. The rescue efforts were hampered on Thursday due to strong winds, but a bag containing survival gear was dropped near the snow cave, with the climber spotted waving at the helicopter pilot. It was only during Friday’s rescue that it became clear that one climber had perished, while the other was miraculously still alive.

Communication with the climbers had been difficult since they issued an SOS at 1 am on Tuesday, indicating they were suffering from hypothermia and unable to descend after reaching the summit of Denali at 20,310 feet (6,190 metres). The language barrier has also posed challenges for the rescuers, as the climbers are from Malaysia.
The rescued climber was airlifted to an Anchorage hospital for further medical attention and was reported to be in surprisingly good condition considering the circumstances. The park authorities have chosen not to disclose any further information about the survivors at this time, but they are making arrangements to recover the body of the deceased climber.
The three climbers were experienced mountaineers with a history of climbing multiple high-altitude peaks internationally. Two of them had previous experience on Denali, which is known for its extreme weather conditions and technical challenges. The third climber, who was rescued earlier in the week, suffered severe frostbite and hypothermia.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the focus remains on understanding what led to the tragic outcome on North America’s tallest mountain. The treacherous conditions and unpredictable nature of the mountain serve as a reminder of the risks involved in high-altitude mountaineering.
