Ah somehow I knew there'd be some life here. I never had the chance to meet Sir Ed, but I did get to meet and spend some time with his teammate George Lowe. He shared some stories with me about the work they had done, and continued to do in Nepal, and as he spoke, I was struck by the clear honesty and humbleness of these actions. I believe now as I believed then that we would be lucky to see another generation of explorers like this group.
However, Lori is absolutely right in referencing Greg Mortensen - the guy and his operation completely blow me away. His book "Three Cups of Tea" is not the best written /edited work yet, but the story is incredible and I think is a must read.
