Holly Beckham speaks at Himalayan Trust evening in Christchurch

On Wednesday 5 August, Holly Beckham joined four other New Zealand climbers at the Aldersgate Centre in Christchurch, sharing her journey with the mountains and her goals to reach the summit of Everest. The evening drew around 170 people — the Trust's biggest night in Christchurch in a long while — with five climbers speaking across generations, from Sir Ed's era through to those, like Holly, now setting their sights on Everest.
