In "Everest Rescue" season 1 episode 6, titled "Do or Die," viewers are taken back to the 2015 climbing season on Mount Everest, where a devastating earthquake rocked the mountain and caused a massive avalanche that claimed the lives of at least 22 people. The episode focuses on the rescue efforts of the Sherpa guides, who risk their lives to save climbers stranded on the mountain.

The episode opens with a brief overview of the mountain and the dangers that climbers face while attempting to summit Everest. The 2015 season was particularly deadly, with 18 people losing their lives due to the earthquake and resulting avalanche. The episode then introduces us to the Sherpa guides, who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of both climbers and their fellow guides.

The main focus of the episode is on the rescue efforts of the Sherpas in the aftermath of the earthquake. The episode follows several Sherpas as they make their way up the mountain to help stranded climbers, many of whom are injured and in need of medical attention. We see the Sherpas using every tool at their disposal, from oxygen tanks to ropes and pulleys, to bring the climbers down safely.

One of the climbers in need of rescuing is 51-year-old John All, an experienced mountaineer and professor of geography at Western Kentucky University. All was conducting research on climate change on the mountain at the time of the earthquake and was stranded on the mountain with his team members. All suffered a serious head injury and was in critical condition, requiring immediate medical attention.

The episode follows the efforts of the Sherpas to get All and his team members down the mountain safely. We see the Sherpas coordinating with a helicopter rescue team, making multiple trips up and down the mountain to bring the injured climbers to safety. It's a tense and dangerous operation, with the Sherpas facing treacherous conditions and unpredictable weather.

In addition to All and his team, the episode also highlights the rescue efforts of the Sherpas for other climbers stranded on the mountain. We see the Sherpas working tirelessly to provide medical attention and transport for injured climbers, many of whom are in critical condition.

Throughout the episode, we see the incredible bravery and skill of the Sherpas as they work to save the lives of those stranded on the mountain. The Sherpas are clearly heroes, risking their own lives to ensure the safety of others. We see the emotional toll that this work takes on the Sherpas, who must navigate their own grief and trauma while also serving as rescuers.

The climax of the episode comes when a massive storm hits the mountain, making rescue efforts even more challenging. The Sherpas must work quickly and efficiently to get everyone off the mountain before it's too late. We see the tension and fear in their faces as they battle the elements and work to bring everyone to safety.

In the end, all the climbers who were stranded on the mountain are brought to safety thanks to the heroic efforts of the Sherpas and other rescue teams. The episode ends with a tribute to those who lost their lives in the 2015 Everest climbing season and a reminder of the risks that climbers and rescue teams face on the mountain every year.
