A new four-part season of the BBC World Service’s Amazing Sport Stories podcast is to launch.
The new series, Chasing Mountains, follows the stories of five mountaineers who are trying to become the first woman to reach the summits of the 14 highest mountains in the world.
It’s a gruelling and potentially deadly quest, spanning years, where these women risk their lives for the ultimate challenge.
