At 66 years old, she defied expectations and became the oldest woman to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. She wasn’t a lifelong athlete. She wasn’t a natural-born climber.

Whether you want to start a business, write a book, improve your fitness, or take on a challenge you never thought possible, Success in 7 Steps will show you how to make it happen.
