Female alpinist from Norway aims to beat 14 highest peaks record in six months


Annapurna (Nepal) (AFP) – A Norwegian climber is aiming to reach the world’s 14 highest mountain summits in a quest to change how the mountaineering industry views women athletes. Having already climbed six peaks in Nepal, including Mount Everest, Kristin Harila, 36, is on track to achieve her six-month target to reach the 14 peaks. Harila hopes to match, if not beat, Nepali adventurer Nirmal Purja’s ambitious six months and six day’s record.
