‘Up’: A Mother’s Climbing Journey With Her Daughter

The Takeaway

A mother embarks on a journey with her five-year-old daughter to scale all 48 of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot peaks, and discovers climbing is an  invaluable  teaching tool for instilling independence and self-determination. Patricia Ellis Herr  chronicles  these adventures with her daughter Alex Herr in her book, “Up: A Mother And Daughter’s Peakbragging Adventure.” You can read an excerpt of ‘Up’ here.
