The Summit of Dreams

Beschreibung

This is the story of a couple, Catherine and Philip Stevenson, both dedicated mountain climbers and, as a couple, have climbed some of the world's most challenging peaks. All through their climbs, they have been blessed with luck and good fortune where others would perish. For their last mighty climb, Catherine determines that they climb Mount Everest and thus satisfy her dream of standing where Hillary stood. However, luck and good fortune have run out on Mount Everest for Catherine as she battles to save her husband dying in the Everest Graveyard where hundreds of climbers lay. This is a saga of showing that with even the most experienced of climbers, the forces of nature can combine to kill, leaving the survivors emotionally destroyed. This is one woman's saga of learning to live even after the greatest of tragedies.
