Regions of the Heart: The Triumph And Tragedy of Alison Hargreaves

*BRAND NEW E-BOOK EDITION WITH NEW AFTERWORD*

'I shed a tear as I read this…I'll admit that I did not do so when I originally heard of her death. The difference? This book' The Independent

Alison Hargeaves, one of the finest climbers of her generation, died in 1995 during a violent storm on K2. On her death she was vilified by a media outraged that a wife and mother would take such extreme risks. This is the story of a woman with an astonishing determination to be the best that she could; a woman driven to succeed just to secure a future for herself and her family.
