When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing 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.
Peter Zuckerman and Amanda Padoan explore the intersecting lives of Chhiring Dorje Sherpa and Pasang Lama, following them from their villages high in the Himalaya to the slums of Kathmandu, across the glaciers of Pakistan to K2 Base Camp. When disaster strikes in the Death Zone, Chhiring finds Pasang stranded on an ice wall, without an axe, waiting to die. The rescue that follows has become the stuff of mountaineering legend.
At once a gripping, white-knuckled adventure and a rich exploration of Sherpa customs and culture, Buried in the Sky re-creates one of the most dramatic catastrophes in alpine history from a fascinating new perspective.

If you haven’t watched the documentary this is based on you totally should. Pemba Sherpa who I truly hope was the source and gets super credit in this book literally saved well over a dozen lives. Man was pioneer of the year because of this feat. Amazing story overall.

thank you for a fascinating title!
@digtallifenye: thanks for the heads’ up. I’ll go and see if I can track down the documentary.

@digttallifenyc: what’s the name of the documentary? Can’t seem to find the correct one based on the book’s name. Thanks for your help.

Would really like this one, but nothing is downloading!!
June 27th, 2020
Was anyone able to actually download this? I’ve been waiting forever, but nobody’s seeding!

@kaine: i haven’t been able to download this either.

I’m wondering if ‘Guest’ is posting fake torrents again.
June 28th, 2020
Slight correction: ‘Guest’ seems to have posted other titles which seem to be live.
RE: my earlier comment - it seems that once in a while someone comes here and ‘posts’ torrents that are dead. Why? The only reason I can come up with is so people can grab a magnet link and whoever on the other side is seeing how many people are trying for a book - just a theory…

For anyone who wants to see the documentary it’s called “The Summit” trust me you will feel a rollercoaster of emotions watching it. I have also seen another one about businessmen paying sherpas to practically drag them up the mountain for pay just so they can say “I climbed it”

Does not seem to download - are there any seeders?

Look at the file size, 97.36 MB! I got it to download before I noticed that but the file is corrupted and so is worthless. So “thanks for nothing” Guest.
