Featuring original interviews with mountain guides and climbers-including Jimmy Chin and Conrad Anker-this vivid and authoritative adventure history chronicles one of the least likely industries on guided climbing on Mount Everest.Anyone who has read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air or has seen a recent photo of climbers standing in line to get to the top of Everest may think they have the mountain pretty well figured out. It's an extreme landscape where bad weather and incredible altitude can occasionally kill, but more so an overcrowded, trashed-out recreation destination where rich clients pad their egos-and social media feeds-while exploiting local Sherpas.There's some truth to these clichés, but they're a sliver of the story. Unlike any book to date, Everest, Inc. gets to the heart of the mountain through the definitive story of its greatest the Himalayan guiding industry. It all began in the 1980s with a few boot-strapping entrepreneurs who paired raw courage and naked ambition with a new style of expedition planning. Many of them are still living and climbing today, and as a result of their astonishing success, ninety percent of the people now on Everest are clients or employees of guided expeditions.Studded with quotes from original interviews with more than a hundred western and Sherpa climbers, clients, writers, filmmakers, and even a Hollywood actor, Everest, Inc. foregrounds the voices of the people who have made the mountain what it is today. And while there is plenty of high-altitude drama in unpacking the last forty years of Everest tragedy and triumph, it ultimately transcends stereotypes and tells the uplifting counternarrative of the army of journeymen and women who have made people's dreams come true, and of the Nepalis who are pushing the industry into the future.

Fits everything!
Color: Gilded Gold, Color: Gilded Gold
Beautiful clutch, good size. It fit my phone, make up, keys without a problem. It did smell very bad in the inside though. I didn’t realize it before hand since I opened it on my way to my event. Every time I’d open it and the smell could linger.

Happier than expected!
Color: Obsidian Black
I have two destination weddings coming up back to back and wanted to have something small but functional that I could use to carry my phone, ID, some small cash, a CC or two and lipstick. This was perfect! I bought 2. One in black and one in brown. They lay flat for packing, are small enough to use for the event to carry the essentials, the pockets inside will keep everything organized, they have gold handles if I don’t want to use the removable gold chain strap. It’s very light weight and the pleather is super soft (I did see on other reviews that someone said they had a smell, mine do not). It comes with its own dust bag for storage when it’s not in use. I git them on sale so for around $20 it is well worth the value and if something happens to it during the event or trip, even after for a girls night out I won’t be out hundreds of dollars like I would otherwise with my usual purses. Great choice. Colors are spot on, quality seems solid, and I expect to get a lot of use out of these due to being able to dress them up or dress them down. PEFECT!

Perfect addition to my wardrobe
Color: Chrome Silver
I purchased the silver clutch to wear with a lavender dress for a recent wedding. I wanted a style that I figured all of the girlies wouldn’t be wearing, I also didn’t want to spend too much. This may seem odd, but I’m plus size, and didn’t want to carry a tiny purse with my frame. This was perfect! I loved the metallic shade. It had a slight sheen to it, which made it look upscale. There’s slots on the inside to hold the necessary license and bank card.. The purse held everything I needed for the evening, even the card for the newlyweds! You will not be let down with this one!
