Australians Bianca Alder, 17, and her dad, Paul Adler, 50, are back in Melbourne, Australia, after their recent Everest attempt. They were thwarted by strong winds and illness, but made a valuable attempt. Bianca’s social posts have gone viral as she struggled to breathe upon returning to Camp 4 at the South Col after reaching 8163 meters on the 8848-meter peak. She climbed with Rinji Sherpa of the Makalu region.<\/p>\n

Bianca began climbing at a very young age and came to want to climb Everest. Her mother, Fiona Adler, summited Everest in 2006 and her father, Paul, in 2007. She has a brother, Ben, 16, who is more into music than climbing.<\/p>\n

She holds the Guinness World Record for the youngest person to climb Ama Dablam<\/a> and Manaslu<\/a>. While the family lived in Annecy, France, she often joined the family on hikes, rock and ice climbs, with Mont Blanc being what she considered her first “big” climb. This is her climbing CV:<\/p>\n

This podcast discusses Paul’s Everest attempt and summit, Bianca’s Ama Dablam attempt and summit and of course, Everest with the risks, decision-making, and emotions. I think you’ll enjoy meeting this young lady, who, by the way, has become friends with Ryan Mitchell. The two gave me much hope for the sport I love, seeing two very mature young people embracing mountaineering.<\/p>\n
