Episode 96: Junko Tabei

This week to kick off women's history month, Montana tells us about Junko Tabei. She was the first woman to summit Everest and she also summited the Seven peaks. We hope you all raise a Mount Everest Cocktail to not only Junko, but to all the adventurous, brave and determined women in your life.
