Mountaineer attempts four of the five highest peaks in one season, with her record quest focused on climate change awareness

Mountaineer Carole Fuchs is taking on one of the hardest challenges imaginable, but she wants the project to be about more than just the physical feat.

She will climb the four of the five highest peaks on earth in spring 2021, and will use her platform to raise awareness about climate change, install solar panels, make biofuel available to local villages – and collect data for climate change experts.
