The Ascent of Everest 1953-2003 - T171300875A personal account from the first British woman to climb Everest. The compelling tale of Everest, of the Nepalese and Tibetan peoples who live in its shadow, and of those adventurers drawn from all corners of the Earth to pitch their skills on its lofty slopes, stretches from the early years of the 20th century to the present day. And there are few better people to tell it than Rebecca. Through her work with Sir Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust, she is in regular contact with the surviving members of the 1953 team, including Hillary himself. Refreshingly, Rebecca talks not just as a climber but as one who has observed and written about Everest, and who, like her audience, still relates the mountain through layman's eyes. | |
