This record-breaking accomplishment put the Basque woman on National Geographic's 2010 \"Adventurers of the Year\" list. The next year, both \u003cem\u003eThe Alpinist \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eOutside\u003c\/em\u003e magazines placed her on their \"Adventurers of the Year\" lists, too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pasaban's accomplishment did not come without controversy: Another woman, Korean climber Oh Eun-Sun, claimed to have completed the peaks a few weeks earlier. Later inquiries revealed that Oh Eun-Sun had failed to summit Kangchenjunga in 2009 and her claim was eventually withdrawn, leaving Edurne as the clear victor. But how did she get there? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published for the first time in English, \u003cem\u003eTilting at Mountains\u003c\/em\u003e tells Edurne's heartfelt and deeply personal story. She details not only how she came to climb the 8,000-meter peaks----the competitive nature of her Basque heritage played a role, as did, admittedly, an interest in handsome climbing guides----but also how her love for the mountains pulled her from a deep, soul-crushing depression. The book covers her climbs on all the 8,000-meter peaks, some of which were almost cakewalks while others were climbed at great cost, including the loss of close friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edurne Pasaban\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594858500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594858505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountaineers Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Edurne Pasaban","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070172655871,"sku":"9781594858505","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8a21a4d-1850-4760-b79c-03e9f11dcdd4.jpg?v=1685428785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tilting-at-mountains-edurne-pasaban-9781594858505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
