Was there any way possible David Sharp could have been rescued off of Mt. Everest..??

Question

Discovery Channel / National Geographic - Everest : To the limit

Answer 1

unlikely. the higher you go the more dangerous it gets for the rescuers. helicopters can only go so high because of the lack of oxygen, weather, etc. so if folks cannot climb down on their own or with help from someone already on the mountain, the outlook for rescue is quite bleak.
