Together on Top of the World: The Remarkable Story of the First Couple to Climb the Fabled Seven Summits

On May 16, 2002, Phil and Susan Ershler reached the top of Mt. Everest and became the first couple in history to scale the fabled Seven Summits. What made their achievement all the more remarkable was that Susan was not a mountain climber, but a high-powered Fortune � 500 executive who had never hiked or climbed until she met Phil at the age of 36. Phil, a professional mountain guide who was the first American to summit Everest from its treacherous north face, had climbed his whole life with Crohn's disease, a chronic, debilitating illness. Adding to these challenges, just before their final summit, Phil was diagnosed with colon cancer, and the resulting surgeries and complications were expected to end his career. This is Susan and Phil's story: a tale of love set in the mountains, a story of triumphal highs and devastating lows in quest of a seemingly impossible dream.

I lay in the pitch black, willing the tent to hold its ground, trying not to think about the fact that by 10:00 tomorrow morning either we'd be standing on top of Everest, thumbing our noses at everything that had conspired against us, or we'd be back here in this frozen, wind-beaten sardine can of a tent listening to five years' worth of hope and effort whip away. Which way? The wind taunted me with the question.

Earlier in the evening we'd learned that a climber from another team had not returned from the summit. Inside my sleeping bag, my hands and feet had gone numb; my desire to complete the climb had flickered. But Phil had talked me through it. "What's changed?" he asked. "We knew yesterday that people die up here. Is the mountain less safe today? Are we less capable?" I rallied. I felt eager. I couldn't wa ... read full excerpt from Together on Top of the World: The Remarkable Story of the First Couple to Climb the Fabled Seven Summits ebook
