On May 16, 2002 Phil and Susan Ershler stepped onto the top of the world and into the history books as the first couple to have climbed the Seven Summits (the highest mountains on each continent). I thoroughly enjoyed the story of their lives, their relationship, their determination to succeed and the incredible odds they overcame to take their place in the history books. Most of all, the book reminded me that life is there to be lived and that the easiest way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time! ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
On May 16, 2002, Phil and Susan Ershler reached the top of Mt. Everest and became the first couple in history to scale the fabled Seven Summits. What made their achievement all the more remarkable was that Susan was not a mountain climber, but a high-powered Fortune 500 executive who had never hiked or climbed until she met Phil at the age of 36. Phil, a professional mountain guide who was the first American to summit Everest from its treacherous north face, had climbed his whole life with Crohn's disease, a chronic, debilitating illness. Adding to these challenges, just before their final summit, Phil was diagnosed with colon cancer, and the resulting surgeries and complications were expected to end his career. This is Susan and Phil's story: a tale of love set in the mountains, a story of triumphal highs and devastating lows in quest of a seemingly impossible dream.
