Edited by Valerie Mendenhall Cohen ". . . A priceless collection of letters and accounts by one of the first women climbers in America." One of America's most important and first women mountain climbers, Ruth Dyar Mendenhall started climbing at the height of the Great Depression, when women were excluded from all-male climbing expeditions.
