You're going to climb the whole way up?
Junko Tabei: It may be far, but nothing is going to stop me from being the first woman to reach the top.

I want to reach the top, too!
The presidential top.
Yadina: But, how can you do something that's never been done before?

Moving forward, even when things got tough.
