The mountain climber
Junko Tabei is a mountain climber with some amazing stories to tell. She is famous because
she was the first woman to climb to the top of Mount Everest.
In 1975, a Japanese newspaper and a Japanese TV station decided to send a team of
Japanese women to Nepal to climb Everest. They advertised for climbers and hundreds of
women applied. In the end, they chose 15 climbers, and Junko Tabei was one of them. The
women spent a long time in training before they left Japan and travelled to Nepal. They
employed nine Sherpas (local people from the mountains of Nepal) to guide them. Then they
started their climb.
One night there was an avalanche. It buried the climbers in snow. Fortunately, nobody died but
they were all very scared by the experience. Twelve days later, Junko arrived at the top of the
mountain and made history.
Today, Junko lives in Japan. She often g
mountains these days. In fact, she spends more time working on environmental projects. She
wants to protect the natural habitat of Mount Everest and other mountains.
