Arlene Blum was a top-notch biochemist. But the world knows her best as a mountaineer, where she broke the glass ceiling of a very macho sport. She's led climbs at Mt. Everest, Mt. McKinley, and Annapurna, among others. Blum joins Kojo to explore her journey from the Chicago suburbs to the top of the world's most dangerous peaks.
