Mount Everest
Stewart is not your stereotypical mountaineer. Through the steps he took and his entrepreneurial spirit he was able to fund almost entirely the costs for two Everest expeditions without corporate assistance.
In the summer of 2015 Stewart began to write his story of being caught up in these two tragic seasons on Everest. In this very book, he writes very candidly about not only his experiences on the mountain but also what drove and propelled him towards Everest in the first place.
Mount Everest is Earth’s highest mountain above sea level. The international border between Nepal and China runs across its summit point.
The current official elevation is an astounding 8,848 m (29,029 ft).
