This is one of the best Everest climbing books I've ever read, and it should be enjoyable for nearly anyone who is the least bit curious about mountaineering. The author was 61 years old when she headed for Katmandu to begin her climb. Unlike many such books, there is no disaster, just a clear description of her journey from concept to completion, with exactly the right amount of detail. #books #bookstodon #bookreview #mountains #Everest #women https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/df2ce619-e1ce-49f0-8672-9694f6a45cf1
