ISBN: 9780446579056 - together on top of the world: the remarkable story of the first couple to climb the fabled seven summits (21 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. On May 16, 2002, Phil and Susan Ershler achieved what no other couple ever had: they reached the top of Mt. Everest and became the first couple in history to scale the fabled 7 Summits, the highest mountain on each continent. What makes their achievement more remarkable is that Susan was not a mountain climber but a high-powered Fortune 500 executive. Though she has become one of only five women to complete the 7 Summits and the 12th American woman to climb Everest, she had never climbed until she met Phil aged 36. Phil, a professional mountain guide, has climbed his whole life with Crohn's disease, a chronic, debilitating illness and completed the climb after a struggle with colon cancer that was expected to end his climbing career. He was later diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer but still travels the world to lead climbing expeditions as he's done for nearly three decades. This is Susan and Phil's story ? an inspirational love story set in the mountains. It is the story of two people who came together to change each other's lives, about things that should never have happened but did and about the dreams that come true as a result.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. [18], 294, [6] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Maps. Glossary of Climbing Terms. Signed by both Ershlers. Mountaineer Phil Ershler began guiding and instructing climbers on Mount Rainier in the state of Washington when he was still in college. Upon graduation, he became a full-time guide, and his trips with groups have taken him to six continents. Ershler was the first American to make the ascent of the north face of Mount Everest in 1984. He has survived several physical threats, including Crohn's disease and cancer, but they never stopped him from climbing, because that is when he feels at his best. When Ershler met his wife, Susan, she was in sales, and her favorite pastimes included water skiing and boating. Ershler learned to water ski, and Susan learned to climb. Together, they were the first married couple to climb the Seven Summits when, on May 16, 2002, they completed their climb of Mount Everest. They wrote Together on Top of the World: The Remarkable Story of the First Couple to Climb the Fabled Seven Summits: A Saga of Love and Courage, about their personal lives, his ability to become more open about his illnesses, and their love of climbing. Each spouse provides a separate narrative, which is distinguished by its own typeface. In reviewing the book for the Seattle Times Online, Sherry Grindeland noted that the book "details not just their treks to the tops of mountains but their adjustment to married life." Susan speaks about pushing past perceived boundaries in extreme environments to pursue your dreams and shares lessons learned to achieve Peak Performance in business.

In mountains on every continent they learned to trust each other and to put their lives in each other's hands. On May 16, 2002, Phil and Susan Ershler reached the top of Mt. Everest and became the first couple in history to scale the fabled Seven Summits.
