On the third episode of Voice of the Mountains, Steve welcomes the pioneering climber Lydia Brady, who created a life of climbing through windows when the doors were slammed. She became the first female climber to summit Everest without oxygen in 1988 along with many first ascents worldwide. From big walls, to alpine climbs, Lydia has made her mark on the climbing world as a leader in her own climbing and a mountain guide. Unfortunately she faced tremendous doubt and scrutiny with her ascent and faced a ten year ban from climbing in the Himalaya. Steve and Lydia tackle the questions of whether the harder the journey, the greater the shift good journeys end with your understanding of yourself shifted? They also discuss how Lydia wishes to be remembered and what goals she has for her future. Tune in, sit down, and get ready to listen to both Lydia's humility and a lifetime of hard earned wisdom.Visit the Voice of the Mountains website at: https://uphillathlete.com/voiceofthemountains/

 Holly Beckham of Ngapuhi and Ngati Rangi, is on a journey to find out. She's under the mentorship of Lydia Bradey, the first woman and New Zealander to summit Everest without oxygen to train for the big ascent!

For today's NZ Sporting History, our guest has conquered the summit of Mount Everest, not once, but six times! In 1988 Lydia Bradey became the first woman to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen.

Join me and my mentor Lydia Bradey - the first woman to climb Everest without oxygen and a mindset trainer at CareerClimb - as we delve into what made her not just successful, but one of the best, in her field of climbing and high-altitude guiding. Lydia has climbed Everest 6 times, most recently as a guide leading clients, and was recently invited to become the first female lead guide on a K2 expedition. She has been awarded the Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit award for her services to mountaineering. Lydia's story of being publicly accused by her male teammates of not reaching the summit on her record-breaking climb is the subject of an upcoming movie.Lydia and I talk about:Her incredible story of not just accomplishing something that many have died attempting to do, but overcoming accusations and bullying by the men in her field.What she has learned from working with our CareerClimb members about women in tech and their fears, doubts, strengths and talents.How the lessons she has learned in mountaineering can be applied by YOU in your career as a woman in tech.More about Lydia here:www.lydiabradey.com - Lydia's websiteMy article in the Mazamas magazine about my first encounter with Lydia and what I learned from her in the mountains (hyperlink to: https://www.dispatchesfromthe45.com/home/2018/12/29/daring-to-be-lydia)A short movie about Lydia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8ScFjRPdMgA news report about Lydia's award: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ezCZuB3FDc

I share three stories from an action-packed week that all follow the same thread - how to have personal responsibility, even when it's tough, and resist the urge to cuddle in the safety blanket of victimhood. The three stories are - my mentor Lydia Bradey becoming the first woman to ascend Everest without oxygen and being attacked by her male teammates for it; a high-powered Silicon Valley executive recruiter sharing with a group of women how to talk in interviews about a difficult work situation; and hearing a talk on the Holocaust by Prof. Peter Hayes, author of "Why? Explaining the Holocaust".Lydia Bradey's book "Going Up is Easy"Prof. Peter Hayes talk on "Why did the Holocaust Happen?"Prof. Hayes' book "Why? Explaining the Holocaust"

Nous partons ce dimanche à la rencontre de deux femmes au parcours exceptionnel, toutes deux amoureuses des très hautes altitudes: la suissesse Andrea Zimmermann, 44 ans, avocate, ancienne championne de ski-alpinisme. Elle partage son temps entre la Suisse et le Népal, où elle sʹest mariée avec un sherpa. Elle a gravi lʹEverest en couple en 2016 après une première tentative en 2015, date du terrible tremblement de terre qui a ravagé le pays. Dans la foulée elle a créé une ONG pour venir en aide aux populations locales. Maya Chollet lʹa rencontrée sur place à Kathmandou. Lydia Bradey est une néo-zélandaise de 58 ans. Elle fut la première femme à réussir lʹEverest sans oxygène, en 1988, dix ans seulement après lʹascension historique de Reinhold Messner et Peter Habeler. Son exploit fut contesté par ses compagnons de cordée, qui eux ne sont pas arrivés au sommet. Elle raconte son histoire, bouleversante et emblématique dʹun certain machisme dans son ouvrage "On ne me volera pas l'Everest" traduit en français aux Editions Guérin/ Paulsen. Simon Matthey-Doret sʹest entretenu avec elle lors dʹun récent passage en Suisse.

Lydia is one of New Zealand's great mountaineers and climbers. She's the first woman to summit Mount Everest without oxygen, back in the 1988. She's since gone on to climb Everest another four times. She also completed the first female ascents of several climbing walls in California's Yosemite National Park, recently popularised in the award-winning film, Free Solo.We talk about Lydia's childhood and how a girl who hated sports developed a deep love for the mountains. We also go into her time in Yosemite, the time she almost died in an avalanche in India, and touch on the unfortunate controversy surrounding her first Everest ascent.Here a just a few of Lydia's achievements to date:- The first woman in the world to climb Everest without oxygen (1988)- Probably the first woman in the world to climb an "8000er" alpine-style (one push, bottom to summit) without oxygen (1987)- 7 first female ascents of "Big Walls" in Yosemite Valley, California (early 1980s)- One of three Kiwis to make the first NZ ascent of the world's 7th highest mountain, Dhaulagiri in Nepal (2017)If you're interested in learning more about Lydia you can grab a copy of her book, Going Up is Easy, here or here.

This week on WorldLink we look at China's past and future. We hear from former activists about the brutal crackdown on student-led protests in Beijing's Tiananmen Square 30 years ago, and we find out how a sleepy village in the German countryside became a hub for Chinese businesses. Plus, a mountaineer's take on this year's deadly Mount Everest climbing season.

In part one of this story we saw how Duncan Critchley's quick judgment of his partner for The Nose resulted in a piece of big wall history. Despite his good judgment, he was left with the regret that they never climbed together again. In part two Duncan's judgment isn't so good, but it leaves him with few regrets and some firm friendships.   What do you do when you've just set the speed record on The Nose? For Duncan the answer was to set out alone. First with a free solo ascent of the Steck-Salathé route on Yosemite's Sentinel, a route that had become a speed testpiece for the likes of Royal Robbins and Henry Barber in the 1970s.   His next goal was a big aid route on El Capitan - Sunkist. The route had only seen two ascents and no-one had tried it solo. In the heat of a Californian summer Duncan set off and made good progress until he met one of Yosemite's infamous offwidths. What followed cemented his place in the hearts of the climbers in the valley at the time and resulted in an unlikely business proposition.   Photo: Wet Denim Daydream (c) Lydia Bradey   Factor Two is brought to you by UKClimbing.com   Music credits: Dark Fog Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Very Low Note Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Luminous Rain Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Ghost Processional Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Porch Blues Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

  The Explorers’ Grand Slam is the ultimate adventure challenge that involves climbing the world’s highest peaks on each of the seven continents as well as trekking to the geographic North and South poles. Masha began her Explorers' Grand Slam challenge in October 2015 she has now scaled the world’s highest peaks on each of the seven continents – Everest (Asia), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Vinson Massif (Antarctica), Aconcagua (South America), Carstensz Pyramid (Australasia), Mt. Elbrus (Europe) and Denali (North America) as well as trekked to the geographic North and South poles. The extraordinary demands of the challenge mean she's been pushed to the edge of her physical endurance and mental resilience. She's spent over a 100 days in a tent and spent three weeks trekking on skis to the North and South Poles in -40C weather and exposed herself to the “death zone” – the high altitude above 8,000 where there is not enough oxygen for humans to breathe. Only two other people have completed the Explorers' Grand Slam challenge (including the two poles) in under a year and just 45 in total. The previous female world record title holder was Vanessa O’Brien who completed the record in 11 months. Masha did it in 8 months! Show notes Early years and growing up and not being athletic!
