Cathy has been on the mountain as the last minute "token woman"
team member, and as an expedition leader. She has worked in
partnership with a wide range of international teams forced to
co-operate on popular routes, and has climbed on a team attempting
a new route, the only expedition on the entire east face. She has
faced the "worst storm in the history of Everest" and the giant
avalanches of the Kangshung face.
She has experienced both the thrill of the summit and the
reality of failure, and has paid the ultimate price with the loss
of fellow climbers.
