Nepal, James’s Frostbite, 1995

Nepal, James's Frostbite, 1995 - James Allen was the youngest member of our Everest team in 1995. He became the youngest Australian at that time to summit the mountain. On the famed Second Step (near where Mallory met his end), James took off his outer glove for one minute. Even though he still had on his inner gloves, he got frostbite. They say the after-effects of frostbite are very painful. James lost only a small portion of his two frostbitten fingers.
