About this title

Synopsis

In May 1993, Rebecca Stephens became the first British woman to climb Everest. This book tells the story of that historic climb. Published on to mark the first anniversary of her ascent, the book describes Stephens's growing passion for mountains - in only four years of climbing, she scaled some of the world's major peaks, Mont Blanc, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and Mount McKinley - as well as giving a detailed step-by-step account of the preparation - physical and psychological - for her celebrated feat on Everest.
