Join Gordon Alexander in Nepal as he drags his ‘heavy ass’ over the Himalayas in this hilarious, adventure-soaked account of the Three Passes Trek, culminating in a visit to Everest Base Camp. Together with guide Subash and porter Nima, Gordon tackles high passes in excess of 5400 meters (17700ft) and explains how high altitude affects a mildly-overweight man from sea level in the tropics. Each part of the journey brings new challenges including sub-freezing temperatures, almost falling into a crevasse, and alarmingly warm beer. 10% of the profits from this book go to the continued rebuilding effort in Nepal, following the devastating earthquake in April, 2015. $1.99 on Kindle.
