A miracle on Mount Everest. A Sherpa guide found crawling back to base camp 6 days after he went missing. Dawa Sherpa seen here moments after he was found.

>> I fell from a ladder into a creasse. He says, "For 2 days and nights, I survived on ice."

The 52-year-old seasoned guide was last seen around 23,600 ft, the so-called death zone, where conditions are harsh and oxygen too thin to sustain human survival.

Search and rescue teams scoured the mountain for days before he appeared around the Kumbu icefall, frostbitten but alive and swiftly airlifted from the mountain.

At the hospital, his wife and daughter were overwhelmed. >> We asked for photos and only then were we sure.

She said they had already started his funeral ritual, convinced he was gone.

This climbing season, a busy one on the world's highest peak after a massive chunk of ice blocked the route to the top.

A record 274 people summiting Mount Everest in a single day last month, causing concerns about garbage and over tourism.

But this is also one for the history books. A remarkable story of survival.
