In May 2019, Mariam Ktiri became the first woman to climb the Seven Summits (the highest peak on every continent) in under a year.

Mariam is a mountaineer who’s had a taste for adventure since she was a child, and who fell in love with the mountains in her home country of Morocco. Now a resident of Bern, Switzerland, Mariam has conquered peaks around the world. Starting in May 2018, she embarked on the Seven Summits challenge, and 12 months later, with Kilimanjaro, she completed it.

She joins us on the show to talk about her extensive preparation, the life of a female mountaineer, and dish out some life advice for conquering your own personal Everest.
