Kristin Harila: Mountain Climbing World Record Holder

The Art of Excellence

Kristin Harila is a Norwegian mountain climber who recently set a world speed record for climbing the 14 highest peaks in just 92 days.

Some interesting insights from this episode:

· She quit her job and sold her home and put everything on the line to achieve this goal.

· “If you are happy with less than your goal, then you’ll never reach your goal.”

· You have to truly believe in what you’re doing if you want to achieve a goal.

· Working together as a team with her Sherpa was a key component of allowing her to pull off this world record.

· Many people think that the summit is the goal but the goal is actually to come safely back down the mountain.

· “On almost all the peaks, there are dead people. If it happens to me, I will have died happy.”
