Annapurna — the 10th highest mountain in the world, is one of the deadliest eight-thousanders. It was first climbed by French climbers — Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal — in 1950 via the north face.

It was the first eight thousand-meters peak to be climbed. The first winter ascent of Annapurna I was made by Polish climbers Jerzy Kukuczka and Artur Hajzer in February 1987.

Vera Komarkova and Irene Miller were the first Americans to climb Annapurna I in October 1978. They were part of the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition led by Arlene Blum. Alison Chadwick-Onyszkiewicz and Vera Watson of the second summit team, died during the climb to Camp 5.

This is the story of the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna in 1978 !
