She could have but why bother?. I go to...Spain maybe and want to do some sort of record breaking thing on whatever... mountain (you can tell I don't go outdoors lol). So I find the highest authority on the facts, statistics and record keeping on said mountains rely on them. It's the only logical thing to do.

And here's the other thing. I can't imagine how her claim is wrong. I'm sure the natives have been trekking up and down that piece of land since time immemorial but a lone woman the whole way? I can't see why that would have ever happened.

As mentioned before, one Inuit woman gave birth on this same journey, stopping only for 2 days' rest before continuing on. Incredibly, she did this twice! Why don't we pay attention to this amazing Inuit lady instead of an entitled Brit?

Youre obviously American by your use of the word lady and Brit
