A massive first climb - with Rachel Kiernan

With little to no mountain experience at all, Rachel set herself a goal of summiting Mera Peak (6, 476m) in 2018 and did exactly that. From there, she has never looked back. In this episode, Rachel talks about her growing love of the outdoors and how she is now a member of Mountain Rescue and training to be a mountain leader!

If you are inspired to become a mountain leader yourself or brush up on your mountain skills, then contact Brian Bateson at Climb It or John Healy at Simply Mountains.
