Fay Manners: I Quit My Job to Conquer Mountains

Selema Masekela ventures deep into the world of alpinism with British climber Fay Manners, a former data scientist who walked away from corporate life to chase some of the world’s most dangerous mountains. Fay shares how a chance visit to a climbing gym sparked a complete life transformation, her unlikely journey from office worker in London and New York to discovering new climbing and ski routes in the Alps and beyond, the mindset needed to conquer vertical terrain, and the Himalayan ascent that went dangerously wrong at 20,000 feet.
