Features

In August 1978, thirteen women left San Francisco for Nepal to make history as the first Americans to scale the treacherous slopes of Annapurna I. Expedition leader Arlene Blum tells their dramatic story: the logistical problems, storms, and hazardous ice climbing: the conflicts and reconciliations within the team: the terror of avalanches that threatened to sweep away camps and climbers. On October 15, two women and two Sherpas at last stood on the summit—but the celebration was cut short, for two days later the two second two women team attempting the summit fell to their deaths.
