Alice Ng’ang’a, 52, conquers more than 20 mountain peaks worldwide

I meet Alice Ng’ang’a on a cold morning, and she is at home with her dogs. She has a slender, angular frame and a warm smile that lights up her face.

At 52, she is a wife and a mother of four. An adrenaline junkie, she delights in chasing altitude peak points all over the world, not to break records but simply to relax and unwind.
