Viridiana Álvarez Chávez just became the first Latina to climb the world’s deadliest mountain, adding to her already impressive list of accomplishments.
Chávez climbed three of the world’s tallest mountains between 2017 and 2019 — Mount Everest in Nepal, K2 at the border of China and Pakistan, and Kanchenjunga in Nepal. K2 is considered to be the deadliest of the world’s five tallest mountains. Under 400 people have reached the top of K2, and 90 have perished in the attempt.
