Climbing High A Woman's Account of Surviving the Everest Tragedy

"Whereas books like [Jon Krakauer's] INTO THIN AIR and THE CLIMB, by Bukreyev (with G. Weston DeWalt), try to be comprehensive, Gammelgaard's is a sketch. Though at times she seems overly preoccupied with Zen-like meditations on inner peace and her fitness, her colorful observations make this account worth reading....Her memoir, told in mostly short passages, begs for more detail. No matter: to get inside the head of someone talking herself through a potentially fatal crisis is fascinating enough.Gammelgaard, Lene is the author of 'Climbing High A Woman's Account of Surviving the Everest Tragedy' with ISBN 9780060953614 and ISBN 0060953616.
