Facing the Extreme
by Michael Hodgson & Ruth A. Kocour

One Woman's Story of True Courage, Death-defying Survival, and Her Quest for the Summit

Ruth Anne Kocour was the only female member of an expedition to reach the summit of Mount McKinley. Facing the Extreme is the story of how she survived, when eleven people died during a killer storm that slammed into the mountain.

"Even on McKinley, where the weight of the mountain's force had crushed the last breath out of so many other climbers before, I didn't set out with the thought that I was risking my life. I am more afraid of not living than I am of dying."
