In 2006 freelance photojournalist and amateur climber Nick van der Leek wrote a five page analysis of the 1996 Everest disaster titled MOUNTAIN MADNESS, and published in HEARTLAND magazine. His distillation was described at the time by THE CLIMB co-author, Weston DeWalt, as 'the clearest exposition of the 1996 disaster I have ever seen'. Now, nine years later, having honed his penmanship within the rigors and deceits of the True Crime genre, Nick van der Leek is taking on the Everest narrative once more but with a fresh approach. Compared to his 2006 article, NEVEREST is a much larger and deeper analysis of the events leading up to 'the deadliest day on Mount Everest [May 10]. Van der Leek makes no bones about the purpose of this narrative: "We'll be treating the 1996 disaster as a criminal investigation; and the mountain itself as a crime scene." From this unique and fascinating vantage point the reader is dragged back into a deadly 'storm over Everest', one that brings readers and amateur climbers face to face with something more terrifying than the mountain itself. What are the motives of the men climbing the world's tallest mountain? What Van der Leek manages to achieve in NEVEREST is to show the naked ambition and base morality of many of the men and women who returned from the dismal heights to a hero's welcome. What if some of them weren't heroes? Using the psychology 'it takes a thief to catch a thief' professional photojournalist and one time climber of Kilimanjaro, Nick van der Leek demystifies the heroism of climbing. "The question is whether climbing a real mountain is an authentic process towards growing ones symbolic self, and the question is whether climbing the world's highest mountain means accessing the highest parts of the self." Would we climb that mountain if there were no picture taken at the top? Would we still push for the summit if it meant coming back and not telling a soul? By following the narrative of the MOUNTAIN MADNESS team, Van der Leek investigates and cross references what Scott Fischer's mostly American crew and clients did right as opposed to their rivals on Everest: Adventure Consultants [five members of Hall's team died on the mountain including Rob Hall]. As Van der Leek pursues an explanation to account for this incongruity he finds and then mines the golden thread buried within the great mountain. Were the teams locked in a deadly rivalry, or did they just run out of oxygen and time? Was it the weather or human error or the result of something else? What role did hubris play in Everest's deadliest day, and what role does it play in your life?

By the end of the 1996 season - the deadliest in the history of Mount Everest - 13 climbers in all had perished. If it wasn't the weather, and if it wasn't just the presence of journalists, what else fatally compromised Rob Hall's team, the Adventure Consultants? Were they really on a winning wicket when things -suddenly- went south on summit day, or was something else insidiously eating at the team's ability to perform all along? If so, what was it? What was the actual psychology that drove a record number of strong, brave men, and a Japanese woman, to certain death? On May 10 two big teams were locked in a deadly rivalry but exactly what was the psychology of this rivalry on the level of the ordinary client climber? This is the meat and potatoes of NEVEREST II. How did three doctors, a publisher and a lawyer gel with two blue collar workers and a Japanese woman? What was the impact of the merge on summit day, and of one [American] team ultimately -winning- the charge up the world's highest mountain? Did the -losing- team also quickly lose morale, including the urgency to take care of their teammates? Did losing a leader leave a lethal leadership vacuum in its wake, especially for a team that was used to following orders? Two decades after the disaster, mystery, misperceptions and misrepresentations persist. New, bolder narratives have recently emerged pointing the finger at Krakauer and even Rob Hall. Do these new accusations hold water? Do they expose new and even more troubling questions? What new information is revealed about the client climbers? In NEVEREST II freelance photojournalist and amateur climber Nick van der Leek probes deep inside the Everest '96 canon. The disturbing insights he gleans from research into the psychological fabric of client climbers and their behavior patterns reveals a new controversial context of indiscretions lurking just below the surface of the disaster. In the end the essence of the question NEVEREST II answers is this: what were the Adventure Consultants climbers doing while their teammates were dying only a few meters away? If Lou Kasischke cared so much about the truth [as much as we do] why did he wait 16 years to tell his story? If climbing is answering a call to adventure and embarking on a well worn route to heroism, NEVEREST II demonstrates how climbing Everest is also a highway exposing the charlatan and the coward.

The 4th narrative in the bestselling NEVEREST series focuses on the Sherpas. What was their role in the 1996 Everest Disaster? What impact did the failure to fix ropes have on summit day? Where were the Sherpas during the "Huddle" on the South Col? Why was Lopsang using oxygen at Camp IV? What impact did the early Sherpa casualties, Tenzing [Adventure Consultants] and Ngawang Topsche [Mountain Madness] have in compounding the problems on the mountain? The new insights are truly new as Van Der Leek attempts to find a way to identify and limit the losses in 1996 by hypothetically managing the same resources in a different way.

This deeply insightful guide to understanding what clients really want is “an indispensable resource for consultants” (Keith Ferrazzi, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Never Eat Alone). Independent consulting is a potentially lucrative enterprise—but the reality seldom matches the dream. Most solo consultants and boutique consulting firms are perpetually within six months of bankruptcy due to the sputtering unreliability of their new business engines. The problem, according to international consulting expert David A. Fields, is twofold: 1) lack of a consistent, proven plan, and 2) fundamental misunderstanding about what clients want in a consultant. Fields, who has helped hundreds of consultants and boutique firms worldwide build profitable, sustainable practices, replaces the typical consultant’s mindset of emphasizing expertise and differentiated processes with a focus on building relationships, engendering trust, and solving clients’ existing problems. In The Irresistible Consultant’s Guide to Winning Clients, Fields synthesizes his decades of experience into a step-by-step approach to winning more projects from more clients at higher fees. From nuts-and-bolts business advice and tactics to a deeply insightful breakdown of the human side of a very human profession, Fields, named one of Advertising Age magazine’s “Marketing Top 100,” delivers a comprehensive guidebook that is at once highly approachable and satisfyingly detailed. “If I could have just one book on client strategy, this book would be it.” —Marshall Goldsmith, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Triggers
