This work exists because I assumed the risk when no one else would: financing, producing, directing, shooting, organizing, managing, and climbing from inside the expedition. That same risk made the search expedition possible in the absence of institutional or state support. The expedition’s logistics and field operations were led by Pasang Kaji Sherpa, without whom none of this would have been possible.
