Flying Off Everest: A Journey from the Summit to the Sea

Costello tells the audacious story of two unsponsored Nepalis, Sano Babu Sunuwar and Lakpa Tsheri Sherpa, who climbed Everest in April 2011, paraglided from its peak over the North Face, and paddled nearly 400 miles down the Ganges River to the ocean. Little problems wouldn't stop them. Like the fact that Babu had no technical climbing experience or that Lakpa had never been kayaking or swimming. After summiting, surviving their flight off the world's tallest mountain, and being arrested, robbed, and nearly drowned repeatedly the two friends discovered their adventure had only just begun.
