Without Ever Reaching the Summit: A Journey of Discovery and Resilience

In 2009, at the age of 30, Amanda Pflugrad set out to climb the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. She had been an avid climber for years, but this was her most ambitious goal yet. Her dream quickly turned into a nightmare, when a freak snowstorm on the summit of Mount Everest left her stranded and nearly dead.

In Without Ever Reaching the Summit, Amanda shares her harrowing story of survival and the lessons she learned along the way about resilience, determination, and the true meaning of success. Her journey is one of both physical and emotional endurance, as she battles not only the elements but also her own self-doubt and fear. But it is also a story of hope and triumph, as Amanda ultimately finds strength in the face of adversity and learns to appreciate the beauty and fragility of life.
