Više od Everesta: Hrvatska Ženska Ekspedicija na vrh Svijeta [Over Everest: Croatian Women's Expedition to the Top of the World]

A very nicely produced book documenting the 2nd Croatian Female Climbing Expedition led by veteran Croatian mountaineer Darko Berljak; who is the Secretary General of the Croatian Mountaineering Association. A preliminary chapter covers the women’s prerequisite expedition to Cho Oyu (2007) and then the remainder is devoted to the 2009 Everest expedition. Eleven women were on the expedition and four, two of whom were sisters, reached the summit via the South Col route. Over Everest follows the life of the expedition from its inception, through the organization, preparation, approach through Nepal and the climb itself. Berljak is a veteran of expeditions to Annapurna IV (1982), Ama Dablam (1986), Ngojumba Kang II (1987), Everest (1989, 1997), Annapurna (1990, 2008 ), and Cho Oyu (1995). In Croatian, no English translation.
