Everest Expedition

In March 1995 I received a call from an editor at Outside magazine

Proposing that I join an Everest expedition and write an article about

The mushrooming commercialization of the mountain. The editors wanted

Me to remain in Base Camp and report the story. I considered the offer

Seriously — I booked a flight and got the required immunizations —

And then refused at the last minute.

I had a powerful desire to go to Everest. I said no to the proposal

Because it would be frustrating to spend two months in the shadow of

Everest without climbing on it.

I asked the editor if he could postpone the assignment for twelve

Months (I needed time to train for the physical demands of the expedition).

I also asked if the magazine could book me with guide services

and cover the fee. I didn’t really expect him to say ≪yes≫ to this plan.

I had seldom had the travel budget for any of these assignments more

Than two or three thousand dollars before.

The editor called back and said that the magazine wasn’t ready to

spend $65,000 but that he thought the commercialization of Everest was

An important story. If I was serious about trying to climb the mountain,

Outside would find a way to make it happen.

True False

The author doesn’t seem to do professional

Writing.

The article was supposed to be about commerce

And trade.

The expedition was to last less than 90 days.

The author had always wanted to go to Everest.

The plan was delayed at the last minute.

There was a request for some additional

Preparation.

Professional Everest guiding was fairly cheap.

The author had all the reasons to believe his idea

Would be supported.

The magazine seemed to have little interest in the

Issue.

The author still had a chance to realize his wish.
