Publisher's Synopsis
The 4th narrative in the bestselling NEVEREST series focuses on the Sherpas. What was their role in the 1996 Everest Disaster?
What impact did the failure to fix ropes have on summit day?Where were the Sherpas during the "Huddle" on the South Col?
Why was Lopsang using oxygen at Camp IV?
What impact did the early Sherpa casualties, Tenzing [Adventure Consultants] and Ngawang Topsche [Mountain Madness] have in compounding the problems on the mountain? The new insights are truly new as Van Der Leek attempts to find a way to identify and limit the losses in 1996 by hypothetically managing the same resources in a different way.
