The Leadership Framework"

HER MOUNTAINEERING STORY
From Base Camp to Boardroom
In 1996, Deshun joined the first all-South African Everest expedition — led by Ian Woodall and supported by President Nelson Mandela. While teammates planted the new South African flag on the summit, Deshun reached Camp 2 at 6,300 metres as a first-time high-altitude climber. She returned to Everest in 2003, reaching Camp 4 — the Death Zone — coming within 500 vertical metres of the summit before severe weather forced a retreat. To date she has completed 18 high-altitude expeditions across five continents and continues to pursue her Seven Summits ambition.
