The women, who are all both leaders and mountaineers, are Lisa Gering, Alda Waddell, Deshun Deysel, and Tumi Mphahlele, all from Johannesburg, with Ronnie Muhl, avid mountaineer and founder of Cape Town-based Adventures Global, managing the full logistics of the climb.

They not only climb, two of them are moms and they are all successful business women! Their message is to inspire women from all over to realise that they can accomplish anything they set their hearts on, be it summiting mountain, becoming an entrepreneur or even running a marathon! Anything is possible and these four women are living proof!
We wish them the best of luck! Follow their journey on @Everest2020SA
