Summary:
"A dramatic account of the deadly avalanche on
Everest
- and a return to reach the summit. On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount
Everest
when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team, destroying their only escape route and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in eighty-one years and killed nearly 8,900 people. That
day
also became the
deadliest
in the history of
Everest
, with eighteen people losing their lives on the
mountain
. After spending two unsettling days stranded on
Everest
, Davidson's team was rescued by helicopter. The experience left him shaken, and despite his thirty-three years of climbing and serving as an expedition leader, he wasn't sure that he would ever go back. But in the face of risk and uncertainty, he returned in 2017 and finally achieved his dream of reaching the summit. Suspenseful and engrossing, 'The
Next
Everest
' portrays the experience of living through the biggest disaster to ever hit the
mountain
. Davidson's background in geology and environmental science makes him uniquely qualified to explain why the seismic threats lurking beneath Nepal are even greater today. But this story is not about conquering the world'
s
highest peak. Instead, it reveals how embracing change, challenge, and uncertainty prepares anyone to face their
next
'
Everest
' in life."--From publisher.
