On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a massive earthquake triggered deadly avalanches, cutting off escape routes and leaving him and his team stranded near 20,000 feet. Eighteen people died on the mountain that day—the deadliest disaster in Everest’s history.
Two days later, Davidson was rescued. Shaken and uncertain, he didn’t know if he would ever return.
But in 2017, he did.
