Jul 28, 2023

Islamabad [Pakistan], July 28: A Norwegian woman and her Nepali guide set the record Thursday for the fastest summit of all 14 of the world's 8,000-m mountains, their team said in a statement. Kristin Harila and Tenjin "Lama" Sherpa completed the feat in three months and a day after summiting Pakistan's K2, the last peak on their quest. "Kristin said it was a very hard climb because of the amount of snow. She is grateful and extremely happy to share the record with Lama," Rigmor Berthier, from her press team, told AFP.
