Mountain climbers have always fascinated me. Those men risk so much to simply stand on the highest ground around. Finally, a woman reached the summit of Mount Everest and several of the world's tallest peaks and lived to write the tales. "Many Mountains to Climb" is her story.

Stacy Allison's experiences are inspirational. A woman's viewpoint is as refreshing in this genre as (dare I say it) a mountain breeze. Lady climbers, this is a must read!

Personally, I could do without the "reflections" at the end of each chapter.
