Prior to tackling the world’s tallest mountain in 2013,
Moharrak had already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Vinson (Antarctica),
Mount Elbrus (Russia) and Aconcagua (Argentina), along with a host of other
peaks on different continents.

She said in an interview that in searching for something
different and adventurous, she explored the idea of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro,
having already mastered scuba diving, sky diving and shark diving.

“I got a lot of resistance from my society and the people
around me, which further pushed me towards taking the decision to actually
climb it. I felt like this was something that I really wanted to do and it
would give me a completely new and different outlook on life in general,” she
said in an interview with Edarabia education journal.

She spent months in Nepal before executing her plan to
conquer Mount Everest. She was joined by 34 other mountaineers and 29 guides in
reaching the summit on May 18, 2013 from the Nepalese side of the mountain.

Speaking about her achievement, she said: “I really don’t
care about being the first, so long as it inspires someone else to be second.”

Moharrak also has revealed details of a planned
book entitled ‘For All Us Dreamers’, the story of the Saudi woman who
endeavoured to touch the sky. She is also studying an MBA in Women’s Leadership
at Synergy University Dubai Campus.
