1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to stuff

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I ever told your production of I Heart Radio, and

3
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of Activists around the World or

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: change makers around the world, because we're not talking about

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: people who are in activism necessarily, but they're actively changing

6
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: perspective on misogynistic ideas in sports. Hey. Thank as In fact,

7
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: we did a recent episode on women and mountaineering. Uh

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: and Annie has apparently jumped back into the rabbit hole

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: of mountaineering, So this is perfect timing, I think, um,

10
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: and we wanted to take some time to keep celebrating

11
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: those who are getting out there and breaking records. And

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: just a reminder, mountaineering does have some controversy behind it

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: and is a hazardous sport. Go check out the recent

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: episode to hear more about that. Very fun episode two.

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: But first, yes, we wanted to talk about Afghani mountaineer

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Fatima Sultani, who is an avid sportswoman. She is very

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: involved with a lot of jiu jitsu and martial arts

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: and apparently really good at it. So from her Instagram,

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: seems to be really really good at it. But she

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: became the youngest woman at the age of eighteen to

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: climb the highest peak in Afghanistan. Uh No shack and

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: I really hope I said that right, which is a

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: seven thousand four or twenty four thousand five eighty feet

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: high And Sultani went with a team of nine, including

25
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: three women. Um And she decided that she needed to

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: do this. She's been training for this for days. It

27
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: was a seventeen day journey um And after completing it,

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: she pretty much said this is not her only one

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: um And when quoted about why she did it, she said,

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Afghan women have fought for their freedom and rights for

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: twenty years. They climbed high mountains and made a name

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: for themselves. I hope they are free to climb high

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: mountains again inside and outside of this country. Um And

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: I thought that was a beautiful statement. She's actually been

35
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: recognized by the BBC one D Women as well and

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: has done some amazing things. You should definitely go check

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: out her instagram if you can, uh, because she's doing

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: some big adventures, playing in the snow, doing some dancing

39
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: in the snow. Really cute. But congratulations to her. Yes, yes, indeed,

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: uh And we have records that have been broken on

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: the summit of Mount Everest as well, including forty eight

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: year old Lapka Sherpa, an Apolese mountaineer who continues to

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: break records in two and who we did mention in

44
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: our previous mountaineering episode which has a lot of stuff

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: about the climbing of Everest in general, So again, go

46
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: check that out. Sherpa broke her own record for the

47
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: most summits of the world's highest mountains by a woman.

48
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: She achieved ten summits up Mount Everest, which is eight thousand,

49
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: eight hundred forty six point eight six meters or twenty

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: nine thousand, thirty four point six nine feet And that's

51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: the eight thousand club. I think I talked about that, yes,

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about that in a few minutes

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: as well. Whoa exciting uh And three sisters from Roe

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Walling Valley and I hope I didn't butcher that broke

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: the record for most sisters to climb Everest together. I

56
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: love that. That's a record. That's yeah. Um. Sisters Dawa

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Futi Scherpa, sharing Namia Scherpa, and Nima Jenu Serpa became

58
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: the first group of three sisters to climb together as

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: a family up Everest. Um and this is just one

60
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: of several. The sisters have named their expedition as three

61
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: Sisters on seven Summits. That's great, uh. The sisters have

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: plans to climb all the highest summits on all seven continents.

63
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: It's not just for the glory and for the guts,

64
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: for the recognition, but in a dedication to their father,

65
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: who was an avid climber as well and had climbed

66
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Everest in two I lost eight fingers due to frost bite,

67
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: but kept climbing until two thousand seven. And then there

68
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: is the All Black Expedition, which was the first time

69
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the entire member of the party comming was black. The

70
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: team comprised of seven members from Kenya and the United States,

71
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: including Rosemary Saul from Seattle and Abby Dion from Florida.

72
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: They celebrated their successful summit in May of two UH.

73
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: And lastly, we know we are missing several others we

74
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: probably should be revisiting. And if you know, some audience

75
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: listeners pleased in the to us because we love them

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: and we want to recognize all of them. But we

77
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: wanted to recognize Norwegian climber Kristen Harrilla, who is on

78
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: track to break the super Peaks record and this is

79
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: what we were talking about, the eight thousand meter club UM.

80
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: And she is only three mountains away from doing this

81
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: in record time. Uh. And she just completed summitting up

82
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: one of Pakistan's highest mountains, which, by the way, there

83
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: are several in Pakistan. Uh, that seems really really dangerous.

84
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: There's five as in fact, including the k to the

85
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: world's second highest mountain UM. And apparently there's a lot

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: of people doing this truck right now the tourism department,

87
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: so there was at least eighteen hundred and this was

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: like a few days ago. Eight termits have been given

89
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: out to climb uh this mountain or to submit this mountain,

90
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: so it's pretty big um. And if you wanted to know,

91
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: there's only about forty people in history who've submitted all

92
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: fourteen of the super peaks and of all times, apparently

93
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the last record was held by a Napali climber normal Purja.

94
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: And I'm so sorry if I said that wrong. Who

95
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: did it in six months and six days? And yeah,

96
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: she has until early November to complete her quest to

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: beat his time, so we'll definitely be watching for that.

98
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: And she said about climbing and why it's so important

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: to her, she says, in history and until now it's

100
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: been the strong, macho men going out climbing mountains. When

101
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: I talk to people that are not in the sport,

102
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: they believe that men are more capable than women. If

103
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: we're going to change, we need to get attention and

104
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: show that women are just as capable. Um and all

105
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: of that. So she has three remaining mountains, which are

106
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: its bear with me with these names, Chow Oh You

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: which is in Nepal China, Manta Slew which is in Nepal,

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: and she Shi Pagma in China. And if I butchered that,

109
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: I am so sorry. Y'all come yell at me. Um.

110
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, so congratulations to her on her truck. And

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: we were definitely going to keep watching across our fingers. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

112
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: so much inspiring stuff. I'm so happy to see and
