About this item
| Description: | Ang Gylzen Sherpa talks about his life as an Ice Fall doctor on Mount Everest. He discusses safety, religious practices, group dynamics, organization and the effects of climate change. (The tape pickes up speed and gets more interesting once Ang Gylzen uses the translator.) |
