Episode 62 is dedicated to Mother Earth, we think the topic of this episode would like that.

At 4’9” Junko Tabei, like many Japanese children in the 1940’s, was labeled frail as a child. But a fateful class trip as a ten-year-old girl to the mountains of Japan ignited a love for the mountainous landscapes. Junko faced set-backs and opposition when she devoted more time to mountaineering after college but she decided instead to be a woman of many firsts. She began the first mountaineering club for women in Japan, and soon found herself seeking the highest climbs, and like many mountaineers, Everest called to her. Junko Tabei would become the first woman to completely scale the summit of Everest, but the climb didn’t come easy.
