They only needed oxygen ten times or so, and luckily their multitudes of baggage were no hardship for me. Immediately upon reaching the summit, they asked me to take their pictures for Facebook.
My family has assisted Westerners in climbing for generations--my revered uncle Tenzing was the first to do so.We lead simple lives, growing potatoes during our short growing season and sipping yak butter tea. We do not have Facebook.
