Synopsis
Edge of the Map is equal parts inspiring, dramatic, and heartbreaking. One of America's greatest female mountain guides, Christine Boskoff was a world-renowned highaltitude mountaineer when she and her partner died in an avalanche in 2006. Charismatic, principled, and humble, Boskoff was also a deeply loved role model to her climbing partners and the Sherpa community. Edge of the Map traces the sharp twists and turns in Boskoff's life, from her early years as a Lockheed engineer, through her first successes in the climbing world, to her purchase of Seattle-based Mountain Madness after owner and climber Scott Fischer died in the 1996 Everest disaster. Her life was one of constant achievement--until her husband, Keith Boskoff, died by suicide in 1999. The story follows Boskoff as she recovers and moves on to even bigger peaks, earning acclaim as a world-class mountaineer, then later as she finds a second love and alpine partnership with legendary Colorado climber Charlie Fowler., Edge of the Map is equal parts inspiring, dramatic, and heartbreaking.
