wow, i’m very impressed by your commitment and the insightful, focused and well produced doc.
i finished reading “buried in the sky” (a book about nepalese and pakistani high altitude porters on a disastrous K2 climb) literally two days ago. it goes deeper into the historical and cultural background of the people working on these expeditions and treks, your doc focusing on their everyday life was a great further addition to that!
you’ve already answered most questions i had, but was wondering about this:
where there any differences in dealing with Sherpa or Tamlang or porters hailing from other regions of Nepal? did they cooperate or was there some perception of animosity between different groups?
Good luck for your future endeavors! Will definitely share your doc.
