Description

Cathy O'Dowd's remarkable story is one of human determination and passion for adventure. In 1999, she became the first woman to climb Everest from both its south and north sides, facing unimaginable risks along the way. Her journey takes readers through four attempts on the mountain, each with its own unique challenges and triumphs. From the harrowing experience of being trapped in a killer storm during her first ascent, to the heart-wrenching decision she made to leave a dying climber behind, Cathy's story is one of courage, love, and life. This book is a testament to the allure of Everest, the world's highest mountain, and the people who are drawn to its challenge. With unflinching honesty and a deep love for wild places, Cathy shares her experiences in a story that is both a tribute to the power of nature and a celebration of the human spirit.
