SUMMARY:"Thirty Below" author Cassidy Randall live reading & discussion at Shakepeare & Co.
DESCRIPTION:Author Cassidy Randall makes a visit to Shakespeare & Co. in Missoula for a live reading and discussion of her book “Thirty Below: The Harrowing and Heroic Story of the First All-Women’s Ascent of Denali” 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm Thursday\, February 5\n\n\n\n\n\nShakespeare & Co.\, in partnership with the University of Montana Environmental Studies Program\, is delighted to host a reading and discussion with award-winning author Cassidy Randall on Thursday\, February 5 at 7:00 pm. Randall\, a University of Montana alum and the 2026 Kittredge Distinguished Visiting Writer in Environmental Studies\, will read from her new book Thirty Below: The Harrowing and Heroic Story of the First All-Women’s Ascent of Denali (Abrams\, 2025). This event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nAbout Thirty Below: The Harrowing and Heroic Story of the First All-Women’s Ascent of Denali:Cassidy Randall draws on extensive archival research and original interviews to tell an engrossing\, edge-of-the-seat adventure story about a forgotten group of climbers who had the audacity to believe that women could walk alone in extraordinary and treacherous heights. \n\n\n\nGrace Hoeman dreamed of standing on top of Denali. The tallest peak in North America\, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbers’ imaginations\, and Grace\, a doctor in Alaska\, had come close to the top\, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one remorseless blow. \n\n\n\nOther expeditions denied her a place because of her gender\, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum\, who’d also been barred from expeditions—unless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men\, Grace got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak. \n\n\n\nEveryone told the “Denali Damsels\,” as the team called themselves\, that it couldn’t be done: Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large\, the climbing world\, and their own bodies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuthor Biography:Cassidy Randall is an award-winning writer who tells stories on the environment\, adventure\, and people who expand human potential. Her stories have appeared in Rolling Stone\, National Geographic\, the New York Times\, TIME\, Atavist\, Outside\, and Men’s Journal\, among others. She wrote The Hard Parts with Paralympian Oksana Masters\, which won an Alex Award from the American Library Association and was listed as one of the best sports books of the year by the Times. Her work has been awarded the Lowell Thomas Gold Medal in Adventure Writing\, short-listed for the True Story Award\, and included in The Year’s Best Sports Writing. She lives in Montana.
