World-class. Legendary. All words that have been used to describe Christine Boskoff, a pioneering high- altitude mountaineer and mountain guide, one of the first women to own and operate a major, international mountain guiding business. And yet, her story—that of a talented and driven young woman who dared to challenge herself to excel in a male-dominated sport—is largely unknown. A remarkable life tragically cut short, Boskoff was at the top of the high- altitude world when she and her partner Charlie Fowler died in an avalanche on a remote mountain in 2006; at the time, she was the only living woman to summit six of the 8000-meter peaks. Charismatic, principled, and humble, Boskoff was also a deeply loved role model to her climbing partners and the Sherpa community. Edge of the Map traces the sharp twists and turns in Boskoff’s life, from her early years as a Lockheed engineer, through her first successes in the climbing world, to her purchase of Seattle-based Mountain Madness after owner and climber Scott Fischer was killed in the 1996 Everest disaster.

Access to Sichuan appears to have become significantly easier, with rather little in the way of official opposition to climbing around Siguniang China & Tibet 2014 Shan, where the vast majority of activity continues to be concentrated. One reason for an overall easing of regulations may be the completion of a project to build PAP (People’s Armed Police) Headquarters in every village in the western part of the province, and certainly self-immolations are no longer making the news. However, teams with permits obtained at the national or provincial level may still face local opposition, although this has not been tested due to recent activities concentrating on ‘known’ regions. Climbers did not help their own cause in the Sigu- niang area in 2014, with two fatali- ties very early in the year causing an official curfew to be imposed on ice-climbers, and two more fatal accidents in summer and early winter leading to more aggrava- tion of the authorities.

  • The Mountain Life of Christine Boskoff by Johanna Garton EDGE of the MAP: the MOUNTAIN LIFE of CHRISTINE BOSKOFF
    AAC Publications Edge of the Map: The Mountain Life of Christine Boskoff By Johanna Garton EDGE OF THE MAP: THE MOUNTAIN LIFE OF CHRISTINE BOSKOFF. Johanna Garton. Mountaineers Books, 2020. Paperback, 240 pages, $19.95. Johanna Garton’s Edge of the Map follows the life and high-altitude climbs of Christine Boskoff, a widely admired and accomplished mountaineer from Appleton, Wisconsin, whose body was found after an avalanche in a remote range of China in 2006. Though Garton spent time trekking in the Himalaya as a young woman, she is not a climber, making her devotion to the story and life of Boskoff, a stranger, all the more moving. Boskoff was ebullient, open, and unpretentious, her passion for the mountains clear and without ego. “Christine takes pain very well,” said Austrian climber Peter Habeler when interviewed about Boskoff for Outside in 2001. To be one of the women in the upper echelons of mountaineering at the time required fortitude, and Boskoff had it in spades. Boskoff ’s life was impacted by the much-chronicled tragic events of the 1996 storm on Everest that took the lives of eight climbers. One of the climbers who perished, Scott Fischer, was the owner of Seattle-based guiding company Mountain Madness. Boskoff had crossed paths with him in 1995 on Broad Peak, her first 8,000-meter summit. After Fischer’s death, Christine and her husband, Keith Boskoff, bought Mountain Madness, shifting Boskoff ’s relationship with mountaineering from personal to professional. Garton is methodical, patient, and thorough, and her exhaustive research lays out important mountaineering history, the science and experience of being at high altitude, as well as the tangled cultural and political fabric of Tibet and China.

  • Nanga Parbat Range: Himalaya Altitude: 8125M Zone: Open Duration: 45 Days Best Time: May - August
    A SYNONYM FOR RELIABILITY Nazir Sabir Expeditions (NSE) enjoys many years of business experience with people from all around the world but its knowledge of the mountains of Northern Pakistan, where four of the world’s highest mountain ranges converge, spans over three decades. Its driving force is Nazir Sabir, who in the companionship of friends and renowned mountaineers from cross the globe, has extensively roamed Karakorum, the Hindu Kush and the Himalayas for the better part of his life. He has climbed four of the five 8000ers in Pakistan including K2, the second highest mountain on earth and was the first from Pakistan to have reached Everest Summit in 2000. He has been on expeditions with Allen Steck, Doug Scott, Reinhold Messner, Isao Shinkai, Peter Habeler, Christine Boskoff, Tsuneo Hasegawa, E. Otani, A. Zawada to name a few. NSE’s outdoors adventure trips specialize in trekking, mountaineering expeditions, sightseeing safaris, culture tours and tailored trips suiting each customer’s requirements and budget. NSE has also been handling scientific research expeditions and photographic and filming projects to the Karakoram. Besides this, NSE has pioneered environmental projects in collaboration with other agencies and green movements. It has launched several cleaning expeditions in the Karakoram. Preservation of the natural habitat, its flora and fauna, is close to the heart of Nazir Sabir, a naturalist by nature and inclination. In the words of Nazir Sabir, “The purpose of NSE is to make explorations to the unknown rewarding and safe for everyone. As a mountaineer who has seen the day dawn after lonely nights of terror and close brushes with death on the world’s highest peaks, I can say there’s nothing like returning safely and getting ready for a new encounter with the unknown.
