Lessons from Everest: Seven Powerful Steps to the Top of the WorldDr. Tim Warren

- Höfundur

Join Gordon Alexander in Nepal as he drags his "heavy ass" over the Himalayas in this hilarious, adventure-soaked account of the Three Passes Trek, culminating in a visit to Everest Base Camp.
Together with guide Subash and porter Nima, Gordon tackles high passes in excess of 5,400 meters (17,700 feet) and explains how high altitude affects a mildly overweight road builder from sea level in the tropics. Each part of the journey brings new challenges, including sub-freezing temperatures, almost falling into a crevasse, and alarmingly warm beer. Along the way he discovers the local Kukri Rum, traverses glaciers, interacts with eccentric and curious characters, and takes in the most beautiful views on the planet.
Contains mature themes.

FyndinHvetjandiUpplýsandiThis book is simply gold. Good guide to what to expect, innovative and written in perfect balance of fun and reality. Good eye for the funny side of things but still realistic about the difficulty that a trek like this is.
