Everest Reflections on the Solukhumbu

'Mountain tourism, trekking and climbing, has changed sherpa lives since we took "last step" on Everest in 1978. They have become great mountaineers, and today i would like to see Sherpas take over the management of Sagarmatha - it is their mountain. I highly recommend this spectacular tribute to Everest and it valiant people on the centenary of Sir Edmund Hillary's birth.' - Reinhold Messner, mountaineer, writer and filmmaker.
