One of Atlas & Boots' Top 10 Adventure Travel Books of 2021 A
dramatic account of the deadly earthquake 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 about 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
how this natural disaster unfolded and 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.
