Books, Manuscripts
For as long as Westerners have been climbing in the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world's most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on Earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, 'Buried in the Sky' reveals their astonishing story for the first time.
