A collection of personal stories and reflections based on the memoirs of Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mount Everest and the Seven Summits.Honouring High Places is a compelling collection of highlights from Junko Tabeis stirring life that she considered important, inspiring and interesting to mountaineering culture. Until now, her works have been available only in Japanese, and RMB is honoured to be sharing these profound and moving stories with the Englishspeaking world for the first time.The collection opens on Mount Everest, where the first allwomens expedition is met with disaster but pushes on against all odds. The story then shifts to the early years of Tabeis life and reflects on her countryside childhood as a frail girl with no talent for sport, and cultural expectations that ignored her passion for mountains.With reminiscences of the early days of female climbers on Everest, the deaths of fellow mountaineers, Tabeis pursuit of Mount Tomur, a cancer diagnosis, and efforts to restore a love for nature in the surviving youth of the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, this beautifully curated collection of essays captures the essence of a notable time and the strength of character of one of the 20th and 21st centuries female mountaineering pioneers.

I recently finished 'Honouring High Places' and I can't stop thinking about Junko Tabei’s incredible journey. Her story of resilience and determination in mountaineering really struck a chord with me. The writing paints vivid pictures of her adventures, making it feel almost like I was there with her on those peaks!

Disappointing Quality of the Book
Unfortunately, my copy of 'Honouring High Places' arrived with a bent cover, which was disappointing considering it’s about such an inspiring person. The content is good, but the physical quality of the book didn't meet my expectations. I wanted to cherish this book, but the damage made it hard to do so.

A Mixed Bag for an Inspiring Life
I appreciated the stories of Junko Tabei’s climbs, but I found some parts dragged on a bit. There are fantastic moments that highlight her struggles, but I felt the pacing could have been better. Still, it's a solid read for anyone interested in climbing and women’s history, just be prepared for a slower pace in parts.
