A profile of 20 of North America's greatest women climbers, from seasoned guides like Kitty Calhoun and Dawn Glanc who excel in alpine and ice climbing, to the seriously strong boulderer Alex Puccio, to under-the-radar all-rounders like Nancy Feagin. 

If you had the chance to chat with each of them over a cup of coffee, can you imagine what you'd ask? Failing that opportunity, this book is probably the next best thing.

Combined with superb photography on almost every page, there's no way you can pick up this book and not feel inspired.

From the back cover:

A celebration of feminine beauty, athleticism, wisdom, and skill, Women Who Dare profiles twenty of America's most inspiring women climbers ranging from legends like Lynn Hill to the rising stars of today.

Each climber tells her story in her own words, highlighting her personal challenges, accomplishments, and philosophy, as well as providing readers with practical how-to suggestions on maximizing not only their own potential in climbing but in life.

The profiles are complemented by stunning colour photographs by leading adventure photojournalist Chris Noble. Forewords by leading women climbers Steph Davis and Sasha DiGiulian round out the package.

  • Telling women's stories

    You can't be what you can't see. We hope that reading about women's adventures will inspire more women to explore the edges of their comfort zones. You don't need a beard to climb a mountain or cross an ice cap!

  • Supporting female authors

    The 'adventure' bookshelf is often dominated by books about and by male climbers and explorers. We aim to raise the profile of books written from a broader range of perspectives, especially female authors.

  • Female specific advice

    There is much less research and training advice tailored to female specific physiology, but this is changing. We aim to help re-balance the gender disparity and highlight the advances in this field.
