About this listen

The inspiring story of Alyssa Azar, an ordinary girl from country Queensland who worked to ascend the world's highest peak.

'I believe that nothing is impossible if you dare to dream, plan and take action. I'm an ordinary girl who simply refused to give up on a dream, and that's all it takes to succeed in life.'

Alyssa Azar is unstoppable. When she was just eight years old, she walked the gruelling Kokoda Track, the youngest person in the world to do so. At 12 she climbed the 10 highest peaks in Australia. Two years later she touched the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Now, at the age of 19, she has reached the roof of the world: the summit of Mount Everest.

The Girl Who Climbed Everest is the inspiring story of how an ordinary girl from country Queensland worked towards ascending the world's highest peak. Through passion, determination and immense hard work, and despite being turned back twice - once by a deadly avalanche and the second time by a devastating earthquake that nearly claimed her life - Alyssa is the youngest Australian to have achieved this extraordinary feat. She shares the thrills and heartbreaking disappointments on the road to reaching her goal and explains how she finds the courage and motivation to keep going in the face of overwhelming danger and adversity. Above all, Alyssa's story shows us that we can achieve anything if we dare to dream big.

Good listen

this is a good listen for anyone interested in what goes into extreme mountaineering like climbing everest. the book is mainly about how she prepared for the climb of everest and only briefly at the end actually describes the climb itself. that's the only thing i can criticize. you get so hyped up for her to finally summit mount everest, but then you only get a really quick summary of what she went through on the actual climb. i wish there would have been more detail about that particular part of her journey, as that is the main reason for the whole book.. the main thing she dedicated all of her young teen/adult life to.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
