(NYT30) NEW YORK -- May 28, 2005 -- NY-CHARITY-CRAWL-2 -- L. G. Khambache Sherpa, 41, a Brooklyn cab driver, practicing crawling inside his apartment building in Brooklyn on Tuesday, May 24, 2005. Sherpa plans to begin crawling across Manhattan on Sunday and is hoping to raise money for victims of last December's tsunami and to honor the police officers and firefighters who died on Sept. 11. Sherpa is part of a family of guides, many of whom have scaled Everest. He has guided Westerners on monthlong treks on lower sections of the mountain but has never tried to reach the summit, which has left him with a case of Everest envy. (Tyler Hicks/The New York Times)
