Annapurna: A Woman's Place
written by Arlene Blum, foreword by Maurice Herzog

In August 1978, thirteen women left San Francisco to make history in Nepal as the first Americans to scale the treacherous slopes of Annapurna I. Expedition leader Arlene Blum tells of the storms and hazardous ice climbing, the conflicts and reconciliations within the team and the danger of avalanches to camps and climbers. On October 15, two women and two Sherpas stood on the summit. Two days later, two members of the second summit team fell to their deaths. Blum's first-hand account is a stunning contribution to mountaineering literature.
