In 2022, Kristin made a failed world record attempt to complete all 14 summits over 8000m in under six months and six days - a marker set by Nirmal Purja in 2019, as seen on Netflix’s 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible. Losing out on the record due to not being granted Chinese permits for the final two peaks, she tells us she will try again this year, but going even bigger!Richard and Kristin discuss her unlikely origin story into mountaineering, from altitude sickness on Mount Kilimanjaro, to taking on Mount Everest. The conversation then moves to: what drove Kristin to take on the record, the struggle of gaining sponsorships as a female climber, inspiring the next generation, near-death experiences, and the psychology behind her achievements.To find out more about Kristin Harila, visit: kristinharila.com***This episode is brought to you by Kase Filters.
