A life-long dream, Jim starts the book remembering being at Camp 1 in the Western Cwm at 19,700-feet on Mt Everest when the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the region. Now, Jim takes us on another journey, this time to Mt.
Jim almost lost his own life but demonstrated a miraculous human spirit to extract himself from the same crevasse. Rainier where Jim’s climbing partner and long-time friend, Mike Price, died after a fall into a deep crevasse.
In that book, he walks through the life-changing event on Mt. Many people are familiar with his first book, “ The Ledge,” co-written with Kevin Vaughan. Recently I had the opportunity to review his new book, “ The Next Everest.” Oh my, what a read.
I consider him a mentor who has taught me a lot about ice and rock climbing, general mountaineering, and life. We met in 2001 and have been great friends and climbing partners almost ever since. The regular readers of my blog and social media don’t need an introduction to Jim Davidson.
