High-Mountain & Expeditions
Dawa Sherpa
Khumjung, Solukhumbu
Dawa writes the high, hard end of the mountains — the 8,000ers, the death-zone maths, the records and the reckonings. He has stood on summits and turned back below them, and he treats both as the job. He does not romanticise altitude and he does not sensationalise the dead; he explains, plainly, why a mountain kills the way it does.
