Reception at Outdoor Retailer will honour Sherpa who lost lives on Everest

18/07/2014
Nepalese outdoor brand Sherpa Adventure Gear is hosting an event at US trade show Outdoor Retailer in honour of the 16 Sherpa who lost their lives on Everest in April.

At Sherpa’s booth on August 7, Everest guide Norbu Tenzing Norgay, who was on Everest that tragic day, will share his experience.  

Tashi Sherpa, the founder and CEO of Sherpa Adventure Gear, will offer his reflections on the impact of the tragedy on the Sherpa community, and how he found himself at the centre of a global outpouring of grief.

Norbu Tenzing Norgay, vice-president of the American Himalayan Foundation, will discuss ideas for long-term, systemic changes that will improve conditions for the hard-working Sherpa on Everest.
“We invite anyone at OR to join us in paying respects to those who lost their lives this spring, and join us in continuing this important conversation and effort,” said Tashi Sherpa.

Outdoor Retailer is taking place at Salt Lake City, August 6 to 9.
