After watching 'The Porter: An Untold Story at Everest' online for free, join Hoofer Mountaineering Club, along with sixteen other universities and their mountaineering/climbing groups for a live discussion with Nate Menninger about his experience as one of the first-ever foreign-born porters to assist climbers ascending Everest!
A young privileged American "Nathaniel J. Menninger" attempts to make history at Everest by becoming a Himalaya Porter. But in his journey to succeed, experiences a harrowing reality instead. This is an inside look at the darker side of Everest. At the strength, pride and pain of those who support it. And at just how hard it is for a naive foreigner to attempt the same. This is The Porter.
