This amazing book tells the true, exhilarating, and tragic story of the thirteen members of the 1978 American Women’s Himalayan Expedition. The team made history by being the first Americans (and the first women) to climb Annapurna I, a peak with an altitude of 26,504 feet. Told by the expedition leader, the book chronicles the women’s journey on the treacherous mountain where they experienced severe weather and frequent avalanches. Photographs of the expedition complement the text.
