Temba Tsheri, a Sherpa, is the youngest climber to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. Dramatic descriptions of survival on the mountain are accompanied by brilliant-colored photographs, maps, and illustrations of survival equipment.
Sidebars provide interesting facts about elevations, oxygen levels at high altitudes, and the dangers of frostbite. Back pages provide a timeline of the many 'firsts' - important events on Mt. Everest from 1850 to 2001.
