Sam In Cham with Samantha Ryder
Life in a day with Mountaineer Fay Manners – Hold onto your harness, it’s quite the ride…
Fay Manners has had quite the year so far. In her ‘spare time,’ the UK-born Data Analyst likes to play in the mountains here in Chamonix. In fact, not just here in Chamonix, but in any mountains.
For Fay - it’s been a year of firsts so far. Along with climbing partner Lina Van den Berg they got Phantom Direct’s first female ascent of the Grandes Jorasses. Then, a few months later, crossed the pond to the US where she joined expedition partner Michelle Dvorak to become the first female pair this year to climb the Cassin Ridge on Denali, America’s highest peak at almost 6200 meters.
Fay’s love of the mountains brought her to Chamonix 7 years ago – and like many others before her, she only came for a season. So, what next for the young adventurer? She says climbing rock faces in Greenland has been a long-time ambition, but to add a little twist, she’s going to sail there…and why not…
