Tough and Cheerful, The Life and Times of Kanchha Sherpa, Last Living Member from the First Ascent of Mount Everest by Pattie Moon Join us for an in-person presentation followed by Q&A with author, Pattie Moon. Since Pattie's first visit to Nepal in 2009, she has been a regular traveler to the Khumbu (Everest region), serving as Program Director for the Colorado-based Sherpa Education Project.

This is a story about the worlds' tallest mountain, the evolution of Nepal and a man who has been part of the staggering transformation of both. Kanchha's personal story takes us through time and mountains, from scarcity to abundance, from personal collapse to moral rectitude, and from a hidden land of breathtaking beauty to one threatened by the world's changing climate. Humble, thoughtful, brave and funny, the "tough and cheerful" man has a lot to teach us all.
