text:  Today, LACPA's summited Mount Everest ten times, more than any other woman in the world. And the story of how she's done it, and kept doing it, is extraordinary. But her enthusiasm for the outdoors is not reserved only for record-breaking climbs. She's a ball of energy when I meet her in London, glowing from the walk to the studios and bubbling over with her love of walking, and her two daughters who are accompanying her on this trip.
