Event Details

Join us for an unforgettable and exclusive event as we welcome renowned mountaineer and Osprey Ambassador, Kristin Harila to the stage.

In July, Kristin and her Nepalese guide Tenjen Sherpa set a new world record by climbing the world’s highest 14 peaks above 8,000 metres in under six months. Since April this year, under Kristin’s “She Moves Mountains” project, they completed all 14 ascents - Shishapangma, Cho Oyo, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Everest, Lhotse, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu, Nanga Parbat, K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II.

Last year they attempted the same record and were well on their way to achieving this incredible feat, having completed 12 peaks in record time. Unfortunately, however, they were unable to achieve the mission of climbing all 14 in less than six months due to permit issues for Shishapangma and Cho Oyo. Having summited both, Kristin still became the fastest woman to complete all 14, in just one year and five days, but was confident it was still possible to beat Nirmal ‘Nims’ Purja’s 2019 record of six months and six days.

This year, with a new plan in place, the project pushed ahead of schedule with ascents of ten peaks in just 44 days including Everest and Lhotse in an incredible eight hours.

Join us to hear the full story from Kristin, live and on stage.
