Rochester author Russ Staples torecount his historic Everest Odyssey
More than 50 years ago, authorRuss Staples trekkedfrom Kathmandu to MountEverest in sneakers and aborrowed backpack, making himone of the earliest Americans toset foot at the 17,800-foot basecamp.
To celebrate, Staples will bepromoting his recently publishedmemoir, My Everest Odyssey, atthe Dover Public Library onWednesday, Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m.Copies of his book will beavailable for sale and signing.
The New Hampshire native was one of the earliest trekkers to
the base of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain. Whilea Peace Corps volunteer in southern India in 1967, the 22year old set out with a borrowed backpack, $200 in his pocketand an abundance of youthful enthusiasm that would servehim well on his often-harrowing, 27-day, 400-mile journey byfoot.
Unlike Everest adventures of today, Staples' 1967 hike wasunsupported -- the robust Everest tourism industry hadn't yetarrived in Nepal. There were no planes, no hospitals, andcertainly no rescues. Instead, he relied on the generosity andkindness of rural Nepali farmers and his own grit anddetermination. His journey took him by ancient Buddhistmonasteries, through neatly terraced fields and pristineHimalayan wilderness as he walked in the footsteps of SirEdmund Hillary and the 1963 American expedition.
Staples' memoir is based on the journal he kept during histrek and includes incredible, never-before-published photos ofan Everest and a Nepal that exist now only in the pages ofhistory books.
The program is free and open to the public.
