20th Anniversary Edition

This best-selling account was republished on October 15, 1998, the 20th anniversary of the day the American Women's Himalayan Expedition reached the summit of Annapurna I the world's tenth-highest mountain. The book includes a new preface, current profiles of the team members, and an up-date on women’s mountaineering.
