by Kocour, Ruth Anne.


From the publisher

The author recounts how her team reached the summit of Mt. McKinley in Alaska, after the worst storm on record took the lives of eleven people.

First line

About the author

Ruth Anne Kocour is a veteran mountaineer with nine international summits under her belt (including Mt. McKinley, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Nevado Illimani, and Mt. Elbrus). She is an artist by avocation and lives in Galena, Nevada.
Michael Hodgson, a former mountain guide, is an editor for "Outdoor Retailer" magazine and also writes for "Men's Health" and "Outside," to name a few. Like Ruth Anne, he continues to seek the wilder side of any mountain. This is his sixteenth book.
