More: Life on the Edge of Adventure and Motherhood by Majka Burhardt (Pegasus Books, 2023)
"As one of the world’s leading professional rock and ice climbers, Majka Burhardt led a globe-trotting, thrill-seeking life. When she learns she’s pregnant––with twins––Burhardt originally tries to justify continuing her risky pursuits, despite this new responsibility. However, ultimately, she is forced to experience the avalanche of emotions that accompany this major life transition, as well as her body’s physical changes.
Based on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently maintained over the course of six years, More takes the reader around the world as she explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on her career, marriage, and identity.
Majka Burhardt’s work and projects have been featured in The Economist, Outside Magazine, The Weather Channel, NPR, and more, and her articles have appeared in publications including Afar, Men’s Health, Skiing Magazine, Backpacker, Patagonia, Alpinist, Women’s Adventure, The Explorers Journal, and Climbing." --Publisher's blurb
