Winner of the 2025 Banff Mountain Literature Award for Nonfiction 'An entrancing tale of a harrowing adventure.' —Kirkus (starred review) Winner of the Banff Mountain Literature Award for Non-Fiction Celebrated in Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, TIME, Men's Journal, Outside, and The Guardian and named one of the most noteworthy books of the month by The Washington Post. Cassidy Randall draws on extensive archival research and original interviews to tell an engrossing, edge-of-the-seat adventure story about a forgotten group of climbers who had the audacity to believe that women could walk alone in extraordinary and treacherous heights. Grace 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 Grace, 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.
