Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The intensely gripping, prize-winning, and inspiring story of a group of female adventurers and their treacherous, pioneering ascent of Denali in 1970, winner of the Banff Mountain Book Award Grand PrizeGrace Hoeman dreamed of standing on top of Denali. The tallest peak in North America, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbers' imaginations, and Hoeman, a doctor in Alaska, had come close to the top, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one remorseless blow. Other expeditions denied her a place because of her gender, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum, who'd also been barred from expeditions-unless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men-Hoeman got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak.Everyone told the "Denali Damsels," as the team called themselves, that it couldn't be done: Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own.

Maine served as a creative springboard, a focus of memory and longing, a refuge, and a means of communion with other artists, such as Winslow Homer, who painted there.
