Summary
Mountain Climber Emily Harrington is here to talk about being the first woman to summit El Cap in a day along the Golden Gate route, the mental fortitude it takes to be an endurance athlete, and how to meet a man on Everest. Then: A nosy sister wants to intervene when her brother and his wife are having marital problems… that she’s not supposed to know about. A divorcee searches for the best slopes now that she’s free from a toxic marriage. And a mom’s surprise vacations get in the way of a daughter’s holiday plans.
