\ncorrespondence
\n\u00b7 Follows the development of Himalayan mountaineering and Nepal’s entry into
\nthe twentieth century
\n\u00b7 Details friendships with famed climbers Hillary, Messner, Bonington, Humar,
\nViesturs, and more
\n\u00b7 Foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary, who considers Hawley his closest link in
\nNepal
\nOne of the most important figures in Himalayan climbing may be someone who has
\nnever been to Everest Base Camp, and is not a climber. In 1960, a young
\nAmerican woman, Elizabeth Hawley, moved to Nepal as a reporter for Time Inc.
\nInitially sending home political dispatches from the kingdom, it wasn’t long
\nbefore Hawley’s pen found its niche: mountaineering in the world’s highest
\nplaces. She quickly became part of the Kathmandu scene, socializing regularly
\nwith an eclectic group of adventurers, climbers, royalty, politicians and
\nentrepreneurs. Hawley is still in Kathmandu today and has been the unofficial
\nchronicler of every detail of every expedition mounted from Nepal in the
\nHimalaya for more than four decades.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
