Presents the stories of the sharps who have acted as expert consultants to Westerners climbing the Himalayas, focusing in particular on Chhiring Dorje Sherpa and Pasang Lama, who survived when 11 other climbers died on K2 in August 2008. 15,000 first printing.

A tremendous amount of details and historical data about the sherpas involved in the tragedy on K2. Honestly it did not meet my need for an adventure book nor for a climbing book. It's more like an anthropology and history study about a couple of sherpas in Nepal, tracking down their lives to the childhood. Of course it has its dose of high altitude mountains story but about one third of the book.
