Dianette Wells recounts overcoming a long-standing fear of heights to become hooked on summit climbing after a first climb of Mount Whitney with 10 girlfriends. She went on to climb Kilimanjaro, decided to pursue the Seven Summits (despite concerns about Everest), and completed them one at a time over about nine years.

Chapters

I've always been afraid of heights. I used to have a lot of falling dreams as a kid. But after my very first climb, which was with 10 of my girlfriends climbing Mount Whitney, which is the highest peak in the continental United States, I was just hooked on summits. And then I did Kilimanjaro. Still no thought of doing the seven Summits. But at some point on that climb of Keely, I just said, I want to do the seven Summits. Even though I was still afraid of heights and wasn't sure how that would work on Everest. But, you know, over the next. I think it was nine years, just knocked him off at a time.
