This is the story 26-year-old Boston born Nate Menninger who decided to take a job as one of the first ever non-native Everest porters. His motivations were not monetary (local porters make $15 a day for the grueling work) but to test of his grits and get a better appreciation of porter culture and Nepalese culture in general.
