Synopsis
In May 1993, Rebecca Stephens became the first British woman to climb Everest. This book tells the story of that historic climb.

Could Have Been Better
17 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
Being a fan of many Everest climbing adventure books, I was interested in this because it was about a woman, the first British woman to climb Everest (in 1993), but I was disappointed. Although well written and somewhat interesting, it didn't really hold my attention. There was not enough information about her regular life and then not enough personal stuff about being a woman among men for 2+ months on this grueling journey. I never got to really know the people with her. Plus I found the back and forth of the journey (to be expected) very confusing in this particular version of a climb up Everest. There are much better books out there, but sadly very few about women.
