About Vera Watson
Vera Watson was an American computer programmer, mountaineer and rock climber who made the first woman's solo climb of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. She also made several first ascents in the Kenai Mountains in Alaska. She was a member of the successful first all-women team to climb Annapurna, but was killed along with her climbing partner Alison Chadwick-Onyszkiewicz while preparing to attempt the unclimbed central summit of the mountain.
