520    Wife and mother. Teacher and musician. Marathoner and rock
       climber. At sixty-six, Dierdre Wolownick-Honnold became 
       the oldest woman to climb El Capitan in Yosemite-and in 
       The Sharp End of Life: A Mother's Story, she shares her 
       intimate journey, revealing how her climbing achievement 
       reflects a broader story of courage and persistence. 
       Dierdre grew up under the watchful eyes of a domineering 
       mother and realized early on that her parents' plans for 
       her future weren't what she wanted for herself. Later, 
       what seemed like a storybook romance brought escape, with 
       new experiences and eye-opening travel, but she quickly 
       discovered that her husband was not the happy-go-lucky man
       he had first appeared. Adapting as best she could, Dierdre
       juggled work and raising two young children, encouraging 
       them to be fearlessly confident. She noted with delight 
       how her "little lady" Stasia took it upon herself to look 
       out for her baby brother, and watched in amazement as Alex
       (Honnold of "Free Solo" fame) started climbing practically
       before he could crawl. After years of struggle in her 
       marriage and her ultimate divorce, Dierdre found 
       inspiration in her now-adult children's passions, as well 
       as new depths within herself. At Stasia's urging, she took
       up running at age fifty-four and soon completed several 
       marathons. Then at age fifty-eight, Alex led her on her 
       first rock climbs. A world of friendship and support 
       suddenly opened up to her within the climbing "tribe," 
       culminating in her record-setting ascent of El Cap with 
       her son. From confused young wife and busy but lonely 
       mother to confident middle-aged athlete, Dierdre brings 
       the listener along as she finds new strength, happiness, 
       and community in the outdoors-and a life of learning, 
       acceptance, and spirit.
