Skier makes history on inaccessible run

A British climber has made history as the first person to ski a new route deemed inaccessible for 40 years in the Peruvian mountains.

Fay Manners, from Bedford, and Italian ski mountaineer Marco Malcangi, completed the expedition on the southwest ridge of Mount Ranrapalca - a 20,216ft (6,162m) peak in Peru's Cordillera Blanca mountain range.

Nobody had attempted to ski it due to its "glacial terrain", said Manners.

Earlier this year, she vowed to carry on mountaineering after an "horrifying" experience in the Himalayas in 2024. She completed the north-north-east face of Tête Biselx in France for her 20th expedition in April.
