1996 Everest disaster, the second American woman to ascend the Seven Summits
uman beings were not designed to survive in thin air. Those who stay up too high, too long, will eventually be overcome by the altitude. This is the reason climbers refer to all peaks above 26,000 feet as “the Death Zone.” Mount Everest, at 29,028 feet, is particularly lethal. So when Sandy Hill Pittman reached its fabled summit at roughly 2:30 P.M. on May 10, she wasted no time celebrating, even though it was an achievement she had been working toward for a lifetime.
