Tibet, Everest Summit, Jeff Shea Standing, May 24, 1995, 9 a.m. - I stand on the summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain. Tsering Dorje is behind me to the right in the photograph. Lhakpa Gelu took the photograph with my small Leica pocket camera. I am grateful to Lhakpa Gelu and Tsering Dorje for their guidance on the summit day. They patiently waited while I took photographs and scooted across sections of the descent in a sitting position!
