Beyond the Limits
BEYOND THE LIMITS--A Woman's Triumph On Everest recounts the story of Stacy Allison's climb of Mount Everest to become the first American woman to reach the summit. Stacy's skill in mountaineering was attained through experience on the highest peaks of North America, Russia, and the Himalayan peaks of K2 and Ama Dablam. After suffering a first attempt failure on Mount Everest, Stacy assumed she would not have another opportunity to climb the mountain. The journey to reach her ultimate goal--beginning with the dream, traversing through the challenges, both in her personal life and as a member of an elite climbing team--has lessons that can motivate the reader to believe that anything is possible.
Beyond the Limits
The first woman to reach the summit of Everest broke the barriers of a traditionally male domain. In this book, Stacy Allison tells her personal story of her struggle out of the trap of domestic violence, and of finally summoning the courage to leave an abusive marriage to discover a new self and a better love. She provides a look into the world of elite mountain climbing: the idiosyncratic, dedicated individuals who make up the international climbing community; the political and strategic manoeuvring before and during an expediton; the gruelling training and single-minded ambition; and the constant danger and threat of death.
Many Mountains to Climb
Many Mountains to Climb is Stacy Allison's remarkable chronicle of her inspiration to climb Mount Everest, failure on her first try, refusal to give up, and true grit -- which led her to final triumphal ascent to the top of the world.Throughout her exciting anecdotal account of climbing struggles are tips, ideas, cautions, alerts, suggestions, and planning ideas that will help you plot your way more surely to success -- whether you mean to captain a team in a corporate environment, to follow a star to a career as an independent achiever, or to lead a sales group to greater accomplishments.

They discuss all aspects of international climbing, including physical conditioning, high-summit ascension, the ethics and environmental concerns of the sport, the risks and rewards of mountaineering, and a number of their famed expeditions and first ascents.
