My Take
Alison Hargreaves stops me cold every time. Soloing Everest without oxygen or Sherpa support, and climbing all the great north faces of the Alps in a single season, including the Eiger, is the kind of feat that redefines what a human body and will can do. Her death on K2 at thirty-three, and the debate about a mother taking such risks, complicate the story without diminishing it. I don't read her as reckless; I read her as someone who genuinely needed to meet her own limit. That honesty commands my deep respect.
