For today's NZ Sporting History, our guest has conquered the summit of Mount Everest, not once, but six times!
In 1988 Lydia Bradey became the first woman to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, and was the first New Zealander of any gender to do so.
In the 2020 New Year Honours, Bradey was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to mountaineering.
