Kristin Harila, 37, has completed her objective to climb the 14 peaks above 8,000 metres after summiting Cho Oyu. It took her 12 months and five days.

Harila started with Annapurna on April 28 last year, then climbed Dhaulagiri before moving onto the world’s third highest peak, Kangchenjunga. She then bettered her own record for the Everest/Lhotse linkup by taking just over nine hours to complete both on May 22, having previously climbed them in 12 hours. On May 27, Harila summited Makalu for her sixth in just 29 days.
