About the book
Amid all the foreign adventurers that throng to Nepal to scale the world's highest peaks there exists a small community of mountain people at the foothills of the Himalayas. This is their story—a story of endeavour and survival at the roof of the world. It dives into their culture and tells of their existence at the edge of life and death. Sherpa traces the story of this remarkable community pre- and post-mountaineering revolution, exploring their evolution as climbing crusaders with previously unpublished stories from the most notable and incredible Sherpas of the last 50 years.
