Jamling Tenzing Norgay. Touching My Father’s Soul. A Sherpa’s Journey to the Top of Everest. Hardcover, dust jacket. Harper San Francisco. 2001. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page, “To Barbara & Don. Best Wishes. Jamling.” In very good condition. Jamling Tenzing Norgay. (Born 1965). Indian mountaineer and author, best known for summiting Mount Everest as part of the 1996 Everest MAX expedition. He is the son of Tenzing Norgay, the first Sherpa to summit Everest with Edmund Hillary. Norgay went on to write Touching My Father’s Soul, a book documenting his experiences on the summit attempt. The book was notable for the frankness with which it discussed the relationships between the often-wealthy climbers and the Sherpas who earn their income by assisting expeditions. Norgay’s book was the first to discuss from the Sherpas’ point of view the disastrous May 1996 climbing season, in which twelve climbers died.
