The Memorial was commissioned by The Everest Memorial Trust to both celebrate the extraordinary human drive that motivates people to go beyond the boundaries of their everyday lives and the tragic consequences of the risks inherent in this ambition.
The sculpture is a Memorial to all the climbers who have died in the ascent of Mt Everest. The work was manufactured in the UK, shipped to Nepal in component parts and carried by porters the seven day trip to the site14,600 feet up in the Himalayas, one days walk from Everest Base Camp.
