Dr. Mimi Zieman with Dr. Arlene Blum - Tap Dancing On Everest

You can say ARLENE BLUM'S BOOK _Annapurna: A Woman's Place_ inspired DR. MIMI ZIEMAN before she embarked on a solo trek around Nepal in 1985. Meet these two adventurers, scientists, advocates and authors as they discuss MIMI'S memoir _TAP DANCING ON EVEREST_, a coming of age story framed around her role as the doctor on a daring EVEREST EXPEDITION IN TIBET. A legendary trailblazer, ARLENE BLUM defied the climbing establishment of the 1970s by leading the first all-female teams on successful ascents of Mount McKinley and Annapurna and by being the first American woman to attempt Mount Everest.
