"This is a wonderful look at one of the most under-appreciated elements of the adventure life: the way that these experiences can change the lives of everyone involved—especially those local peoples who too often stand in the shadows of adventure stories. It stands out as a unique, insightful, and remarkably compassionate contribution to mountain literature.”
Geoff Powter, Mountaineer, psychologist, author of Strange and Dangerous Dreams and Inner Ranges

“In this mini-masterpiece, Jim Lester illuminates the fortitude of a driven team of Americans, then returns to the scene of the climb to explore the trajectories of the Sherpas who made their Everest success possible. The two cultures converge – and find they share a common humanity.”
Broughton Coburn, Conservationist, author of The Vast Unknown and Touching My Father’s Soul
