Summary: Amazing Book
Comment: As someone who's loved the mountains since she was little, I've just recently started exploring them as a grown-up. I've read much of the normal climbing literature, but this book with it's emphasis on female explorers and mountaineers really struck a chord with me. It's wonderful to read of women's long and accomplished history of mountaineering, especially with it's emphasis on climbing in the Pacific Northwest. Right now I'm stuck in the non-mountainous Midwest, but reading this book sends my spirit back to the mountains.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: In a field of mountaineering books written by men, it is certainly refreshing to find a book that provides so many anecdotes of women excelling in both alpine and rock climbing. What's best, you get to hear from women throughout history, young and old, and climbing in large and small groups. The stories are inspiring both to women and men. I highly recommend this!

Summary: Great Fun! Great Adventures!
Comment: This book was great fun to read, full of interesting and exciting adventures. It turns out that the editor, Rachel da Silva, is leading a Women's Everest Base Camp and Khumbu Valley trek to Nepal in fall 2000, through Adventures in Good Company, an outdoor group based in Afton, Minnesota. I would love to go and write my own adventure book! In the meantime these stories have been perfect for the armchair climber or hiker.
