Synopsis

A British mountaineer who died of exposure shortly after completing the ascent of K2, describes her experiences as a climber, teacher, and filmmaker

About this title

From Library Journal:

A British woman who began serious mountain climbing after age 40 tells her life story, with special emphasis on how she made a new career as an award-winning mountain cinematographer in what were to be the last five years of her life. She died in 1986, descending from the summit of K-2. While her Himalayan expeditions occupy the last half of the book and are told with the unique viewpoint of a woman photographer, the early pages are also unusual. Julie and her husband Terry Tullis operated a rock-climbing school near Tunbridge Wells that offered programs to handicapped and disturbed children and adults. Her experiences suggest how much is lacking in American programs for blind and emotionally disturbed youths. Her chapter "Why" gives reasons for choosing adventurous paths that other women will find valid. Recommended. Paula M. Strain, M.L.S., Rockville, Md.
