 Leading Out: Women Climbers Reaching for the Top edited by Rachel Da SilvaLeading Out is an exciting collection that brings together the voices of more than twenty-five women who capture the exhilaration and daring of mountain adventure, from all-woman treks in Nepal to modern solo ascents in the Cascades. "Too many people mistakenly assume that mountaineering is the exclusive domain of men. In truth, women have been climbing - and climbing hard - since the sport's earliest days. But if the best women climbers are every bit as talented and driven as their male counterparts, when women write about their experiences on the heights, they do so from a refreshingly different perpective. Anyone - male or female - who feels the allure of vertical terrain will find this a fascinating read." --Jon Krakauer, contributing editor Outside Magazine Paperback 324 pages - (10/92)
