		Tom Richardson After a Scottish and Alpine apprenticeship, Tom Richardson began climbing in the Himalaya in 1979. Since that time he has climbed extensively around the world and has been on more trips to the Greater Ranges than his age (52 years, 55 trips). This includes expeditions to 7 8000m peaks across the Himalaya and Karakoram, both leading commercial groups and climbing with friends. His favourite trip is, he says, usually the one he has just come back from, irrespective of whether it is from a remote corner of western Mongolia or Pakistan or leading a commercial group up Mera Peak in Nepal.
		Maya Sherpa Maya started climbing because she wanted to make a difference and change the way people think about woman in Nepal. Now with several formidable peaks under her belt she has also achieved many first Nepali woman accents. Her goal is to climb many more peaks and become an official guide. She wants to use climbing to change the traditional position of Nepalese woman and help her country to develop.
