Publisher's Synopsis
On May 17th, 2010, a 37-year-old Spaniard named Edurne Pasaban became the first woman to climb all fourteen peaks higher than 8000 metres. This record-breaking accomplishment put the Basque woman on National Geographic's 2010 Adventurers of the Year list. Pasaban's accomplishment did not come without controversy: Another woman, Korean climber Oh Eun-Sun, claimed to have completed the peaks a few weeks earlier. Later inquiries revealed that Oh Eun-Sun had failed to summit Kangchenjunga in 2009 and her claim was eventually withdrawn, leaving Edurne as the clear victor. But how did she get there? This book tells Edurne's heartfelt and deeply personal story.
