Kristin Harila (born on March 28, 1986)[7] is a Norwegian Saami mountaineer and former cross-country skier. During 2022–2023, she set multiple speed records for the ascent of all 14 eight-thousanders, which are the peaks in the world that are over 8,000 metres in elevation.[8][9]

Climbing career

In May 2021, she set a world record Fastest double-header of the Higher Eightthousanders by a woman becoming the fastest woman to climb Mount Everest and Lhotse in under twelve hours. On May 22, 2022 she beat her own record when she crossed from the top of Mount Everest to the top of Lhotse in 9 hours 5 minutes.[10] Her success in previous expeditions and summit attempts inspired her to embark in 2022 upon her latest challenge, "Bremont 14 Peaks", and become the first woman in history, and the second person after Nirmal Purja, to climb all 14 eight-thousander peaks in 6 months. She came close to beating Purja's record time for climbing all 14 eight-thousanders in a season with only two peaks missing. However, when the Chinese authorities refused her permits to climb Cho Oyu and Shishapangma, her record hunt ended at that point.[9]

On 3 May 2023, Harila achieved her goal of reaching all 14 true geographic summits of the eight-thousanders, after 1 year and 5 days, which is a world record Fastest true-summit ascent of the 8,000ers, regardless of gender.[11][12]

On 27 July 2023, Harila and Tenjen Sherpa, a guide from Seven Summit Treks,[13] established a new record summiting all 14 true geographic summits in just 92 days.[7][14][1][15][2] In the process, Kristin and Tenjen broke multiple records, including 26 eight-thousander summits in 1 year and 3 months and also the fastest Everest and Lhotse summits by a female, in 8 hours.[5][6] They used helicopters to move between base camps and added supplemental oxygen.[9] In 2023 project she planned to scale the mountains without supplemental oxygen. But later, she had to use oxygen cylinders because of safety issues.[7][14]

The expenses for her team in regard to her world record, was Norwegian kroner 15 million.[16]

Controversies

Kristin Harila was accused that on July 27 2023, during record-breaking ascent of K2, her team walked over a dying sherpa Muhammad Hassan and did nothing to help him.[17] Drone footage appears to show the climbers walking past Hassan on a ridge at the top of the area known as the bottleneck, during Harila's ascent. [18] Kristin Harila insisted that climbers did everything they could to save Mohammed Hassan but conditions were too dangerous to rescue him.[19]

Other activities

As a cross-country skier, she placed 24th and 25th in the Norwegian championships in 2006. She represented the club IL Polarstjernen.[8]
