weather and vegetation in the Himalayas. The bit about who was the government spy had me going for a while; then when he was revealed it seemed obvious even though I didn’t guess. At the end when everyone just leaves them alone, destroying any way in or out of the enclave, I thought that was a bit of a stretch. Especially for a Berkley anthropologist bent on publishing significant work and a hotshot, world famous mountain climber. I don’t think either of them could quiet their egos for long about this.
