How does the body and mind change after making the gruelling trip to the top of the world? Can someone's life ever be the same after climbing Everest? Do people really put themselves through hell just "because it's there?"

Combining striking portrait photography supported by intimate interviews, this book will feature a wide variety of characters who are attempting to climb Everest in spring 2009.

While we will learn about their motivations for being there, and later find out more about their reflections on the experience, our prime objective is to explore raw and visual changes as they occur at base camp.

By dramatically juxtaposing ‘before and after’ portraits of the same climber in one photograph in a three-week time-lapse, we will provide a unique insight into the change process that Everest wreaks.
