Arlene Blum, mountaineer11 Apr 2006
A woman's place is on top. So said American mountaineer Arlene Blum and her team as they proved the sceptics wrong by making the first-ever all-female ascent of a peak above 8,000 metres. She talks to Jenni about how an out-of-shape girl from the flatlands of America wound up in the Himalayas on one of the world's most dangerous mountains.
