The Italian mountain site montagna.tv has listed ExplorersWeb’s Angela Benavides as one of the 50 most influential mountain people of 2024.
Regular ExplorersWeb readers will be familiar with her almost daily coverage of mountain happenings around the world, especially in the Himalaya and Karakoram. Angela doesn’t only report the news; she gives context and depth to the alpine stories of the day. Whether it is up-to-the-minute news about an ongoing summit push, an in-depth investigation about the controversial death of a Pakistani porter on K2, or clarifying the byzantine rules around obtaining a climbing permit in Tibet, Angela’s tireless work puts her at the core of contemporary mountain journalism.
Others on the yearly list include Kilian Jornet, Jimmy Chin, Francois Cazzanelli, Kilian Jornet, Nives Meroi, and Nima Rinji Sherpa.
Congratulations to Angela!
