Just finished a book about the son of Tenzing Norgay, the sherpa who summited Everest the first time with Hillary back in the 50s. The son's name is Jamling and the book is TOUCHING MY FATHER'S SOUL. It is a multifaceted presentation on families, Buddhist philosophy, and a comparison of how Westerners do things (such as climbing), as compared to how Jamling approached his opportunity to be a part of the 1996 IMAX climb on Everest (same time that multiple deaths occurred that year due to poor decision making and then chronicled in Krakauer's book INTO THIN AIR).
