 \n\nAlpine Rising: Sherpas\, Baltis\, and the Triumph of Local Climbers in
  the Greater Ranges\n\nThe name of Maurice Herzog\, the first man to reach
  the summit of Annapurna\, is widely recognized\, but how many know Ang Th
 arkay\, the Sherpa who carried the seriously frostbitten Herzog on his bac
 k for miles? Although rarely mentioned in published accounts of early expe
 ditions\, local climbers have long been significant members of first ascen
 ts on the world’s tallest and most challenging peaks. In Alpine Rising\, a
 ward-winning writer Bernadette McDonald sets the record straight by shinin
 g a light on these too often forgotten heroes. Now\, in the 21st century\,
  it is often local climbers who are setting records. A Nepali team was the
  first to climb K2 in winter\; they reached the summit while singing their
  national anthem. Pakistani climbers like Little Karim and Ali Sadpara dev
 oted their lives to helping others survive and succeed on and off the moun
 tains and their stories deserve to be celebrated. Written with unprecedent
 ed access to climbers and their families\, and assisted by researchers on-
 the-ground in Pakistan and Nepal\, Alpine Rising will forever change the w
 ay readers see the history and legacy of mountaineering in the Greater Ran
 ges.  \n\nBERNADETTE MCDONALD was the founding Vice President of Mountain 
 Culture at The Banff Centre and director of the Banff Mountain Festivals f
 or 20 years\, and few people have the relationships that McDonald does wit
 h the world’s most accomplished alpinists. The author of more than a dozen
  books about mountaineering and mountain culture\, she regularly lectures 
 on a variety of topics for universities\, festivals\, and alpine clubs. Mc
 Donald lives in Banff\, Alberta\, Canada.
