04 - Hanady Al Hashmi, The Mountaineer
Hanady Al Hashmi, 31, discovered a passion for mountains and mountaineering five years ago, after starting to hike through... the desert. Since then she has climbed four of the world’s Seven Summits - the highest peaks of each continent, switching between Abu Dhabi's heat and sandstorms, and icy weather on the world's most impressive glaciers. Last year Hanady became the first Emirati woman to make it to the top of Denali, North America’s highest mountain. --- Emirati Stories is a podcast dedicated to introducing the Emirati culture and society to a foreign audience, via personal interviews and subjective angles.
