SHARON WOOD | RISING: BECOMING THE FIRST NORTH AMERICAN WOMAN ON EVEREST

Sharon Wood is an internationally certified alpine guide and was recognized with the “Mountaineer of the Year Award” in 1987 by the American Alpine Club. In May 1986, Sharon became the first North American woman to summit Mt. Everest, and she's one of the few climbers who reached the summit via the difficult West Ridge. She documented this journey in Rising: Becoming The First North American Woman On Everest, recently published by Mountaineers Books.  

During her BeWild, Sharon will reflect on the seventy days she spent on the mountain and talk about the pivotal experiences and influences that brought her to that staggeringly beautiful and austere corner of the world. A Q&A and book signing will follow the presentation.
