Kristin Harila: Mountain Climbing World Record Holder

Kristin Harila is a Norwegian mountain climber who recently set a world speed record for climbing the 14 highest peaks in just 92 days.    Some interesting insights from this episode: ·         She quit her job and sold her home and put everything on the line to achieve this goal.  ·         “If you are happy with less than your goal, then you’ll never reach your goal.” ·         You have to truly believe in what you’re doing if you want to achieve a goal. ·         Working together as a team with her Sherpa was a key component of allowing her to pull off this world record. ·         Many people think that the summit is the goal but the goal is actually to come safely back down the mountain. ·         “On almost all the peaks, there are dead people.  If it happens to me, I will have died happy.”
