Morning Light: Triumph at Sea & Tragedy on Everest

Griffiths tells two stories – one of her husband George’s solo sail across the Atlantic in 1981, the other of her stepson Blair, cameraman for the CBC on the 1982 Canadian Everest Expedition. It was on that expedition that Blair and others lost their lives in the Khumbu Icefall. Using tape recordings, diaries, letters, and first-hand reports, Griffiths’ memoir tells of both expeditions and George’s ultimate trip to the Khumbu to say goodbye to his son. Forward by Pat Morrow.
