Lucky to Be Alive: A First Expedition to the Himalayas

Summary: Lucky To be Alive
Review: This is a wonderful book that tells a light-hearted, yet inspiring story of a young woman's first Himalayan mountain climbing expedition.

The plucky author survives some near-fatal episodes while trying to accomplish her dream, to conquer a previously unclimbed peak.

This is not only a great adventure story; it also has a tremendous amount of human interest, as a single woman strives to survive the rigors of the male-dominated sport of high-altitude mountain climbing.

This is a great read for anyone interested in modern-day adventures.
