"What began as a tragedy for nurse Cherie Bremer-Kamp has evolved into a continuing commitment to the people of Kangenjunga. In the winter of 1985, Cherie and her husband, Dr Chris Chandler, attempted to climb Mount Kangchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak. When almost at the summit, Chandler died from altitude sickness and Bremer-Kamp and her sherpa companion were severely frostbitten. The Sherpas and Tibetans living in villages below came to their aid, carrying them from 17,000 feet to 10,000 feet, over precipitous trails, to the safety of a village, Ghunsa. From there they were flown to Kathmandu for medical treatment." (from Kangchenjunga School Project website). Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket .
