As a solo climber, she could not rope to others for safety along the deeply crevassed Kahiltna Glacier. She could not accept help with keeping her tent from collapsing, shredding, or blowing away during multi-day storms. She could not clip into fixed ropes that others used on the steepest sections of the West Buttress route. Worst of all, she had no one to help ease her fears as she edged past a dead climber just below the summit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Norma Jean's successful solo capped more than a decade of summit attempts that began when she was a teenager. Over the years, she weathered physical setbacks, fierce storms, unprepared teammates, and the horrors of losing friends to the mountain. It was sheer grit that brought her back time and again for another attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Her triumph was celebrated in the mountaineering community and memorialized in the pages of Alaska Magazine, the Anchorage Daily News, and The Anchorage Times. There it stopped. Her singular tale never reached the national media or unfolded in the pages of a book. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51302098731231,"sku":"9781684922758","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/G9TQPPHmDH9781684922758.webp?v=1788169928"},{"product_id":"accidental-adventures-alaska-true-tales-of-ordinary-people-facing-danger-in-the-wilderness-paperback","title":"Accidental Adventures: Alaska: True Tales of Ordinary People Facing Danger in the Wilderness - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerica's fascination with Alaska began at the turn of the last century, when Jack London and John Muir captivated readers with their fiction and nonfiction stories--and continues today with such popular books as Into the Wild and the explosion of Alaska reality TV shows. In such a giant and forbidding place, people lose their way. They hurt themselves. Their equipment fails. They clash with wildlife. And in Alaska, one stroke of bad luck--one small mistake--can mean catastrophe. This book recounts twenty true misadventures, all but one told from the survivor's point of view. Its chapters describe getting lost in the wilderness, bear attacks, dead-stick landings, snowmobile mishaps, overturned canoes, and even escape from a steaming volcano. Told as cautionary tales, these chapters are not only a nail-biting good read on their own, but an illustration of the many perils of living, working, and recreating in the Last Frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367719993567,"sku":"9781493044757","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/3DJDn77xQR9781493044757.webp?v=1789113372"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/chris-lundgren.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
