      <image:caption>Photo courtesy of Pasang Dawa Sherpa. Robert Alt practicing verso l’alto — gazing up at Everest from Pumori High Camp at approximately 18,700 feet — in a candid moment captured by Pa Dawa. Pumori sits on the Nepal/Tibet border just west of Everest, and its summit is around 23,500 feet. It was named by British mountaineer George Mallory in honor of his daughter. In the Sherpa language, “Pumo” means daughter/young unmarried girl and “Ri” means mountain. Sometimes climbers even refer to Pumori as Everest’s daughter.</image:caption>
