PDF-(EBOOK)-Life and Death on Mt. Everest: Sherpas and Himalayan Mountaineering

The Sherpas were dead two more victims of an attempt to scale Mt Everest Members of a French climbing expedition sensitive perhaps about leaving the bodies where they could not be recovered rolled them off a steep mountain face One body however crashed to a stop near Sherpas on a separate expedition far below They stared at the frozen corpse stunned They said nothing but an American climber observing the scene interpreted their thoughts Nobody would throw the body of a white climber off Mt EverestFor more than a century climbers from around the world have journeyed to test themselves on Everests treacherous slopes enlisting the expert aid of the Sherpas who live in the area Drawing on years of field research in the Himalayas renowned anthropologist Sherry Ortner presents a compelling account of the evolving relationship between the mountaineers and the Sherpas a relationship of mutual dependence and cultural conflict played out in an environment of mortal riskOrtner explores this relationship partly through gripping accounts of expeditionsoften in the climbers own wordsranging from nineteenthcentury forays by the British through the historic ascent of Hillary and Tenzing to the disasters described in Jon Krakauers Into Thin Air She reveals the climbers or sahibs to use the Sherpas phrase as countercultural romantics seeking to transcend the vulgarity and materialism of modernity through the rigor and beauty of mountaineering She shows how climbers behavior toward the Sherpas has ranged from kindness to cruelty from cultural sensitivity to derision Ortner traces the political and economic factors that led the Sherpas to join expeditions and examines the impact of climbing on their traditional culture religion and identity She examines Sherpas attitude toward death the implications of the shared masculinity of Sherpas and sahibs and the relationship between Sherpas and the increasing number of women climbers Ortner also tackles debates about whether the Sherpas have been spoiled by mountaineering and whether climbing itself has been spoiled by commercialism.
