SALE, Morocco: The first Moroccan to scale the seven summits of the world’s continents, Bouchra Baibanou wants to inspire a new generation of women who “dare to believe in themselves.”
“With will power and perseverance, you can get there,” said Baibanou, 49, weeks after reaching the summit of Antarctica’s Mount Vinson.
Conquering the 4,897 meter (16,066 foot) peak capped an eight-year journey, during which Baibanou traveled the globe to climb each continent’s highest mountain.
