- Everest, Inc. : the renegades and rogues who built an industry at the top of the world / by Cockrell, Will,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Anyone who has read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air or has seen a recent photo of climbers standing in line to get to the top of Everest may think they have the mountain pretty well figured out. It's an extreme landscape where bad weather and incredible altitude can occasionally kill, but more so an overcrowded, trashed-out recreation destination where rich clients pad their egos -- and social media feeds -- while exploiting local Sherpas. There's some truth to these clichés, but they're a sliver of the story. Unlike any book to date, Everest, Inc. gets to the heart of the mountain through the definitive story of its greatest invention: the Himalayan guiding industry"--- Subjects: Mountaineering expeditions; Mountaineering guides (Persons); Sherpa (Nepalese people);
