Indian climber Anurag Maloo, who went missing on Monday, April 17 after falling into a deep crevasse on Nepal's Mount Annapurna, has been found alive in critical condition by rescuers.
A day after it was announced that Indian climber Anurag Maloo, who went missing while descending Nepal's Mount Annapurna last week, has been found alive, a dramatic video of the rescue operation has emerged on social media.

"Thank you for your incredible bravery and expertise in rescuing Anurag Maloo from the crevasse on Annapurna I (8091 m). Your help in rescuing Anurag Maloo from the crevasse is nothing short of extraordinary. RESPECT," a tweet by Everest Today, a handle covering mountaineering over the Himalayas and Karakoram with special focus on 8,000m peaks, said while sharing the video.
