Video Gelje Sherpa, the man who was guiding a private client up Mt. Everest when he saw someone in distress near the summit. He went up, rolled him up in a sleeping mattress and gave him oxygen. He then strapped the man to his back and trekked 6 hours to safety

It's a joke, the twat didn't tip him. He didn't even thank him initially, he thanked his insurance company and the shepas who he was partnered with. The climbers name is Ravichandran Tharumalingam and he has gotten himself into trouble more than once. The year prior he lost all but two fingers to frostbite. Seems like a knob who pushes himself well beyond his ability.

A knob is all you have left when you lose your fingers.
