Notes:
Mountaineering Women is a richly illustrated collection of the astonishing and often surprising stories that celebrate the achievements of twenty women climbers, spanning both history and the globe including stories about Lynn Hill, Catherine Destivelle, Brette Harrington and others. Even though women have a pronounced and rich history in the sport, they are conspicuously absent from mountaineering literature, until now. As adventure pursuits like climbing and mountaineering continue to gain popularity, women’s visibility in those sport has also come under the spotlights. Book signing and book sales are available.
