NYC Sherpa tells us about the dangers of Everest – BBC News

After an avalanche killed 16 Sherpas on Mount Everest on 18 April, the Sherpa community in New York gathered at a local church to pay their respects.

It’s the largest Sherpa community outside Nepal, and many were directly impacted by the disaster – including Pasang Sherpa, now a taxi driver, whose brother was killed.

He tells the BBC why he quit climbing in the Himalayas and moved to New York City.
