Interview with Rebecca 'Becks' Ferry: Six 8000ers in Six Months

I caught up with British climber, Rebecca 'Becks' Ferry to discuss her amazing 2021 where she climbed on six 8000-meter mountains. This British mother of five children ages 12 to 18, had limited high altitude experience before with summits of Island Peak and Ama Dablam, but deep inside she wanted to try the hard ones. Along with British Professional Mountain Guide, Jon Gupta, they started with Everest and Lhotse as a "warm-up' for K2 but overall climbed on six peaks reaching the main summits of three.

• Everest (Summit) at 19:50
• Lhotse (Summit) at 22:00
• Makalu (reached 7500m)
• K2 (Summit) at 25:05
• Manaslu (Fore Summit ~8160m) at 40:00
• Dhaulagiri (reached 7817m) at 36.09

We cover a range of topics from how she got into climbing, to all the climbs in this fast-paced interview. I think you'll enjoy meeting Becks, hearing about her family and why she climbs and, of course, what's next!

Climb On!
