On April 25, 2015, Nepal's worst earthquake in 81 years killed 8,900 people. Among the dead were two dozen climbers at Mount Everest base camp when a massive avalanche swept down a nearby peak, driving hurricane-force winds ahead of it. When the deadly windblast occurred, Jim Davidson of Fort Collins was on the mountain at Camp One, 2,000 feet above base camp. Davidson's new book, "The Next Everest: Surviving the Mountain's Deadliest Day and Finding the Resilience to Climb Again," documents that experience and the post-traumatic stress he endured.
