Why read it?

1 author picked Edge of the Map as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Garton dives deep into the investigation into Christine Boskoff's disappearance in the Himalayas. This book tells the beautiful story of Christine's career as a mountaineer, in the 90s when Everest was becoming as much of a status symbol as a feat of human perseverance. As a lover of Everest stories, I ate this one up – female-forward mountaineering stories are still few and far between.

From Christine's list on outdoor adventures by and about women.
