Blogs About "Alison Levine"

This is a very long blog but it's definitely worth reading -- Alison's feat, weeks after her safe return, still takes my breath away! BEST LINE: "It is important to remember the summit is only the half-way point." THINK ABOUT IT!

After our drop-back down valley we return to BC. We are told that there will be a good weather window with no jetstream from May 22-26th, and we want...

Who ever imagined that an ice axe was cool or amazing or inspiring?

Alison is off to conquer Mt. Everest next month. But today, she's off to collect her ice axe. Not any old ice axe. This ice axe is...
