The great untold story of Everest
'There is much to marvel at in these pages. It taught me a great deal...Enthralling to read.' Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air
'Anyone who finished Into Thin Air and wondered how a sherpa might have written about the same events on Everest must read this book. As profoundly uplifting as it is disturbing, Jamling Tenzig Norgay's revealing account of his quest to understand what led his father to first climb Everest succeeds in ever way.' Galen Rowell, mountaineering author and photographer
In this gripping and inspirational book, Jamling Norgay interweaves the story of his own ascentof Everest during the infamous 1996 season, with the first real account of his father's historic climb.
For Jamling it is a journey of discovery, into the spiritual heritage of the Sherpa tradition, into his father's past and into the obsession that makes men risk their lives to summit Mount Chomolungma. A classic in mountaineering literature, this is a compelling and emotional account of two historic ascents and of the relationship between a father and son.
A book of adventure, wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.
Touching My Father's Soul recounts Tenzing's son, Jamling Norgay's treacherous climb to the world's most forbidding summit. As retold in Krakauer's Into This Air, the 1996 IMAX climbing expedition collided with tragedy. As the climb unfolds so too does Norgay's inner journey. His desire to finally stand alongside his father's soul on the summit of Everest is realised, as is an understanding of his family's Sherpa history and a realisation of the power and significance of the Himalayas. Beautifully repackaged for the paperback edition, this is a classic.
