Praise for Honouring High Places: The Mountain Life of Junko Tabei: "Translated into English and compiled from several of Tabei's memoirs, Honouring High Places combines gripping accounts of high-altitude danger with a fascinating glimpse into the writer's bold life." -Condé Nast Traveler "...[ Honouring High Places ] fleshes out a portrait of a woman who defied gender stereotypes and dedicated her life to the mountains..." -Outside Magazine "The book provides a comprehensive reference to Tabei's climbing career, as well as numerous reflections and insights, and entertaining stories with enjoyable glimpses of Tabei's world through her unique lens." -American Alpine Journal "Tabei, who died in 2016, encouraged other women to become mountaineers, and founded the first women's climbing club in Japan in 1969 during a time when most climbing clubs banned women." -Time Magazine "The publication of Honouring High Places in English is not only significant because of Tabei's successful ascents, but also because of the in-depth look it gives us into the struggles and possibilities of a climbing life: from confronting the avalanche-prone alpine realm to planning expeditions as a parent, to raising environmental awareness and trying to prevent further ecological catastrophes." -Alpinist Magazine "...Rolfe created an exquisitely crafted book that is a joy to read, not only because Tabei's story is so compelling, and her character so delightfully admirable, but also because Rolfe's writing and editing skills are so finely tuned." -Rocky Mountain Outlook "...Tabei's strength of character triumphs in the face of cultural biases, cancer, the 2011 Fukushima earthquake and a lifetime of climbs. The result is a fascinating, moving, inspiring and precious volume." -Aspects: The ACC Blog "The book's charm lies in Tabei's unassuming but obviously driven nature, and its insights into how Japanese society approaches mountaineering provides the reader with a personal view of the climbing world beyond the Anglosphere." -Canadian Alpine Journal "A significant book that deserves a place on your bookshelf." -Suburban Mountaineer "The story of a young woman who begins climbing in Japanese Mountain Club culture in the 1960's is a tale worth reading in itself. From this complex and often tragic social beginning Junko Tabei goes on to a rich life that manages to include family, teaching and climbing all over the world well into her late 70's while supporting causes related to the value of a life connected to nature and the mountains. It is a well named and well put together piece of history." -Larry Stanier, 2018 Banff Mountain Book Competition Jury, The story of a young woman who begins climbing in Japanese Mountain Club culture in the 1960's is a tale worth reading in itself. From this complex and often tragic social beginning Junko Tabei goes on to a rich life that manages to include family, teaching and climbing all over the world well into her late 70's while supporting causes related to the value of a life connected to nature and the mountains. It is a well named and well put together piece of history.

Synopsis
A collection of personal stories and reflections based on the previously published memoirs of Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mount Everest and the Seven Summits, A collection of personal stories and reflections based on the memoirs of Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mount Everest and the Seven Summits. Honouring High Places is a compelling collection of highlights from Junko Tabei's stirring life that she considered important, inspiring and interesting to mountaineering culture. Until now, her works have been available only in Japanese, and RMB is honoured to be sharing these profound and moving stories with the English-speaking world for the first time. The collection opens on Mount Everest, where the first all-women's expedition is met with disaster but pushes on against all odds. The story then shifts to the early years of Tabei's life and reflects on her countryside childhood as a frail girl with no talent for sport, and cultural expectations that ignored her passion for mountains. With reminiscences of the early days of female climbers on Everest, the deaths of fellow mountaineers, Tabei's pursuit of Mount Tomur, a cancer diagnosis, and efforts to restore a love for nature in the surviving youth of the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, this beautifully curated collection of essays captures the essence of a notable time and the strength of character of one of the 20th and 21st centuries' female mountaineering pioneers.

    This seller was amazing! First: the shirt looks as tho its never been worn. Second: she packed it very well, folded nicely, inside a Ziploc bag. When it was shipped, we got a notification that it was to arrive on Tuesday, it came early, Saturday. Third: we of course looked at the reviews first, she had 100 percent. Well, she sure deserves it! As far as the $5.66 to ship - hey, its the post office.
