full_context: Document 1: 1996 Mount Everest disaster: The 1996 Mount Everest disaster occurred on 10–11 May 1996, when eight people caught in a blizzard died on Mount Everest during attempts to descend from the summit. Over the entire season, 12 people died trying to reach the summit, making it the deadliest day and year on Mount Everest before the 16 fatalities of the 2014 Mount Everest avalanche and the 18 deaths resulting from avalanches caused by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake. The 1996 disaster gained wide publicity and raised questions about the commercialization of Everest.
Document 2: The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke: The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 2001, is a collection of almost all science fiction stories written by Arthur C. Clarke: it includes 114 in all arranged in order of publication, "Travel by Wire!" in 1937 through to "Improving the Neighbourhood" in 1999. The story "Improving The Neighbourhood" has the distinction of being the first fiction published in the journal "Nature". The titles "Venture to the Moon" and "The Other Side of the Sky", are not stories but the series titles for groups of six interconnected stories, each story with its own title. This collection is missing several stories, for example "When the Twerms Came" which appears in his other collections "More Than One Universe" and "The View from Serendip". This edition contains a foreword by Clarke written in 2000, where he speculates on the science fiction genre in relation to the concept of short stories. Furthermore, many of the stories have a short introduction about its publication history or its literary nature.
Document 3: The Snows of Kilimanjaro (short story): "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" is a short story by Ernest Hemingway. It was first published in "Esquire" magazine in 1936. It was republished in "The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories" in 1938, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories" in 1961, and is included in "The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigía Edition" (1987).
Document 4: Garrett Madison: Garrett Madison (born November 3, 1978) is an American mountaineer and is one of the world's top high altitude mountaineering guides, having personally guided 44 clients to the summit of Mt Everest between the years 2006-2016, more than any other American. Garrett began guiding professionally in 1999 on Mount Rainier, and his company, Madison Mountaineering, specializes in leading expedition climbs on Mount Everest and other high altitude peaks, operates on the highest peaks on all seven continents (7 summits), and also provides domestic training programs and summit climbs in Washington State. On May 19–20, 2011, he reached the summit of Mt Everest on his fourth successful attempt as expedition leader and guide for Alpine Ascents International, and reached the summit of Lhotse (4th highest mountain in the world) only 21 hours later as guide to climber Tom Halliday. Also on the expedition was guide Michael Horst who made both summits as well in under a 24-hour period, a few days earlier. This historic achievement marks the first time in history that both peaks Mt Everest and Lhotse were summited together in less than 24 hours, and Madison repeated the "double header" feat again in 2013, the only person to do so twice. In 2014, Garrett led the first ever successfully ‘guided’ ascent of K2, arguably the hardest and most dangerous mountain in the world, reaching the summit with 2 climbers and 3 Sherpas on July 27, 2014. Garrett also regularly guides many "7 Summits" expeditions such as Aconcagua, Vinson Massif, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, etc., during the year. In addition, Garrett is regularly involved with film productions on Everest, participating in 4 different features over the last 3 years. Most recently, Garrett Madison's company, Madison Mountaineering, successfully brought a virtual reality camera to the summit of Mt. Everest. This Capturing Everest will be released by Time Inc and Sports Illustrated and is expected to be released early 2017.
Document 5: Man-Eaters of Kumaon: Man-Eaters of Kumaon is a 1944 book written by hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett.

One tiger, for example, was responsible for over 400 human deaths. "Man-Eaters of Kumaon" is the best known of Corbett's books and contains 10 stories of tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of the twentieth century.

Document 6: Apa Sherpa: Apa (born Lhakpa Tenzing Sherpa; 20 January 1960), nicknamed "Super Sherpa", is a Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer who, jointly with Phurba Tashi, holds the record for reaching the summit of Mount Everest more times than any other person. As part of The Eco Everest Expedition 2011, Apa made his 21st Mount Everest summit in May 2011 then retired after a promise to his wife to stop climbing after 21 ascents. He first summited Everest in 1990 and his last time to the summit was in 2011. Apa met Edmund Hillary many times, and was on the Expedition with his son Peter Hillary in 1990, which was the first summit for both of them. Apa estimates he has been through the Khumbu Icefall about 1000 times and almost went with Rob Hall's ill-fated 1996 expedition. He had this to say when questioned about stopping at 21, "Everyone says 21 is a good number. I have to make my family happy. Every time I go, they worry because Everest is very risky... ."

Document 14: List of ski descents of Eight-Thousanders: Albeit arbitrary, the mountaineering community groups Earth's 14 mountains with summits exceeding 8000 m , referred to as eight-thousanders, as a special category of peaks defining the "top of the world." Only an elite group of mountaineers can claim to have summited all 14 peaks and many have perished trying. (See eight-thousanders for current list.) Particularly since 1978 when Italian expeditionist Reinhold Messner became the first to have climbed all 14 8000m peaks, summiting the eight-thousanders has become the ultimate goal for many high altitude mountaineers. Similarly, the ski-mountaineering community has set its sights on skiing from the summits of the "eight-thousanders." In a 2007 interview for the film "Skiing Everest", the Tyrolean mountaineer and skier, Hans Kammerlander articulated the challenge for the ski-mountaineering community: "Almost all peaks have been reached, almost all walls have been climbed. But seldom have the walls been skied down... It would be a lovely project if I could see someone who could ski all 8,000m peaks."
