J. Cape, 1986 - Biography & Autobiography - 223 pages
Julie Donnelly has been blind since the age of eight - the result of glaucoma. She is a switchboard operator in a London bank and travels to and from work with her yellow labrador guide dog, Bruno, her first release from the prison of blindness. She met Elaine Brook, an experienced moutaineer, and her horizons took another great leap. After learning to climb in this country they began to plan the impossible: the trek, in winter, to the 18,000 foot summit of Kala Patthar.
