2013 is a memorable year on Everest. Last week marked the 60th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay鈥檚 first journey to the top. Then in May, 27 year old Raha Moharrak made history by becoming the first Saudi woman and youngest Arab to climb Mount Everest. Coming from Saudi Arabia, a conservative Muslim country where women's rights are very restricted, she had to break a lot of barriers to achieve her goal. Raha now hopes to inspire other Saudi women to challenge themselves.
