Description
"Tomorrow is a big day. Our first attempt to reach the summit. That was our plan, but mountains have their own plan." Set the night before Tenzing Norgay Sherpa made history with Sir Edmund Hillary by becoming the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest, this one-man show charts his thoughts and fears at the attempt ahead. He relives his other attempts, hampered by avalanches and snowfall until the anxiety and exhaustion transform into the exhilaration of success. Written and performed by Om Raj Raut.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
