Going Beyond the Limits

At the age of 21, Stacy began major alpine climbing in earnest and achieved rapid success. Within a year, Stacy reached the top of Alaska's Mt. McKinley, the highest point in North America, and was part of the first successful women's ascent of Ama Dablam, the 22,495 foot peak known as Nepal's Matterhorn. After an unsuccessful first attempt at Mt. Everest due to weather, Stacy returned with the Northwest American Everest Expedition in 1988.  On September 29, after twenty-nine days on the mountain, Stacy became the first American woman to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, the world's highest mountain at 29,028 feet.  Stacy then went on to become the leader of a successful K2 expedition, the world's second highest mountain, considered to be the most difficult peak on Earth to climb.

She also owns and operates Stacy Allison General Contracting.  She and her team of builders specialize in high end restorations, steadfastly preserving the charm and integrity of classic old homes while achieving financial success.  Her success in the literary world has made her a noted and respected bestselling author.  Stacy's first book, Beyond The Limits:  A Woman's Triumph on Everest, is a suspenseful, triumphant adventure story.  Her second, Many Mountains to Climb: Reflections on Competence, Courage and Commitment, is an exciting anecdotal account of climbing challenges practically applied to help people plot their way to professional and personal success.
