Indian climber Anurag Maloo, who was miraculously rescued after falling into a deep crevasse on Mount Annapurna in Nepal, was revived after three hours of painstaking effort by doctors at a hospital here, his brother has said, describing the mountaineer’s health condition as “still critical.” 

Anurag, 34, a resident of Kishangarh in Rajasthan, went missing on Monday after he fell from around 6,000 meters while descending from Camp III.

Mount Annapurna is the 10th highest mountain in the world and is known for its treacherous terrain. 

Anurag is undergoing treatment at a Kathmandu hospital and has shown signs of improvement, his brother Ashish Maloo said on April 23. 

Ashish, who is in Nepal, said: “When the unconscious body of Anurag reached the hospital, there were no symptoms of heartbeat and breathing was also not noticeable.”

“It took three hours of efforts by the medical personnel to bring back the heartbeat and breathing,” he said. 

The doctors performed Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for three hours to bring back his heart beating, he added.
