Alyssa Azar — the girl who climbed the world’s highest mountains

By ABC listen

When Alyssa Azar was eight-years-old, she decided she wanted to climb Mt Everest. She trained for years and years, through wind, cold, rain, and snow. And finally, at 19-years-old, she was ready. She faced an avalanche, an earthquake, and the world’s most dangerous place — the "death zone". But still, Alyssa didn’t let anything stop her in her quest to be on top of the world.

Narrated by gold-medal winning Paralympic swimmer, Ellie Cole.
