Abstract

Ang Nima, who has worked as an Ice Fall Doctor since 1975, describes his plan and desire to climb Mount Everest. It is worthwhile noting his proposed schedule to go up the mountain. He is proposing a time frame that would be unfathomable to most non-Sherpa. These recordings were made on a trek in the spring of 2011 up to Mount Everest Base Camp. The recordings span a wide variety of topics from making and drinking chang to the work of Mount Everest's 'ice fall doctors'.
