Some knew his cousin, Pemba the second (by minutes) Nepali woman to ascend Mount Everest. She presented me with the traditional white scarf each time I came down from the mountains.
These two lives and their deaths on the high slopes are noted in Dan Linden's latest book Journeys. Although it is a novel about the martial art Aikido, a major part is accurately based on out treks and climbs in the Himalaya; including gritty day to day details that are essential to such challenges and are not available on-line. Good Job Dan!
