The extraordinary Story of the the Sherpa Climbers on K2`s Deadliest Day<\/p>\n
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at
\nhis side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya,
\nSherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when
\neleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world`s most dangerous peak, two
\nSherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to
\nbecome two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented
\naccess and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for
\nthe first time.<\/p>\n
Peter Zuckerman and Amanda Padoan explore the intersecting lives of Chhiring
\nDorje Sherpa and Pasang Lama, following them from their villages high in the
\nHimalaya to the slums of Kathmandu, across the glaciers of Pakistan to K2 Base
\nCamp. When disaster strikes in the Death Zone, Chhiring finds Pasang stranded
\non an ice wall, without an axe, waiting to die. The rescue that follows has
\nbecome the stuff of mountaineering legend. At once a gripping, white-knuckled
\nadventure and a rich exploration of Sherpa customs and culture, Buried in the
\nSky re-creates one of the most dramatic catastrophes in alpine history from a
\nfascinating new perspective.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
