Thanks for writing article on Wanda Rutkiewicz, unrivalled leader of feminine mountaineering. Wanda Rutkiewicz was a most forceful, determined person and lady-mountaineer. In re-cognition of her numerous contributions to feminine mountaineering she received many awards and distinctions, including the prestigious Sitara-e Imtiaz (Star of Distinction) award of Pakistan.
She was able to do all these great climbs due to your beautiful country as well.She is worthy of our memory.
Thank you Afzal for your valuable comments
what she loved the most, and her spirit did not waiver; instead,
it continued its ascent into the clouds. Nice article, Ivona!!
What became of her Doctor climbing friend? Did he also meet with
tragedy? We can all learn something from this fascinating woman!
Larry,the doctor died during their climb on Broad Peak.He was climing with Wanda then.
I admire Wanda because of her determination and great life energy.
Thanks for Your vote!
