Today, we talk with Will Cockrell about his fantastic book, Everest, Inc.: The Renegades & Rogues who Built an Industry at the Top of the World. I liked this book so much that it inspired me to restart our Blister Book Club, so today, we’ll be discussing how Everest became a business, And next month, we’re making good on a promise to discuss The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with K2 Ski designer, Jed Yeiser, and professional skier, McKenna Petersen.
So you’ve got till mid-July to read or read the Hitchhiker’s guide, and today, you’re going to hear about the fascinating history of guiding on Everest, the evolution of that guiding industry, and the broader topic of the ethics, principles, and parameters of guiding in general, anywhere.
