Against All Odds: Miraculous Survival Story on Mt. Annapurna Ft. Anurag Maloo | EP 48 | FYU Podcast

One of the greatest stories from the world of Mountaineering.
Anurag Maloo is an Indian climber who went on an expedition to climb Mount Annapurna in April last year, but an accident happened and he fell into a deep crevasse. Multiple rescue attempts were made but with no luck for 3 days.
So, Anurag was stuck inside of a narrow crevasse, injured from the fall, at an altitude of nearly 6000 Meters on one of the deadliest mountains on the planet that has an extremely high fatality rate.
After 3 days and 3 nights, an attempt was made to recover his body, and a team of skilled climbers managed to get inside the crevasse. To their shock and awe, Anurag was still breathing. That set off a race against time. A race to save his life.
An entire community of people from 60 countries came together and contributed in different ways to one cause - #bringanuragback
How did this happen? How did he survive? What had exactly happened? How is he now? What has this life-changing experience taught him? Not just this, how’s he as a person? What’s his life story? Why does he climb? What’s his life like outside of mountaineering?
Tune in to the full episode to know all these answers and more in this inspiring episode of the Fins Your Ultra Podcast.

Amazing conversation what positive energy Anurag is " force of nature " truly.. super. But I am intrigued to know how Anurag and many climbers of the present generation think they can attempt the "deadliest" as he himself put it..when they have sub par technical skills / training amd experience climbing some mountains on " guided " trips which is basically like high altitude tourism makes them think they are prepared to take on bigger challenges lots of bravado but no sense, I am not being harsh just stating the facts..do your work before you go up there risking not only your own life but also those of others..hats off to all those who pulled off his rescue to put there neck out there, let us not make this as a normal please !!

Clearly he has had enough and more skills to make the climb. Choosing the wrong rope could have happened to anyone else too.
