A Norwegian who is aiming to become the fastest climber to scale all of the world’s 14 highest mountains has said that she can achieve her goal in half the time she initially planned.

Kristin Harila, on her return to Nepal’s capital from the mountains on Tuesday, said she is setting a new target of scaling the peaks in just three months, having already climbed eight of them in 40 days.
