Posted by BMC on 10/08/2005

Mehreen Akhtar, who last month became the first blind climber to compete in the BRYCS National Final, made it to the dizzying heights of Radio 4 last Sunday.

Mehreen and her mum were interviewed on the children’s programme ‘Go 4 It’, and Mehreen told host Barney how she discovered climbing, how she manages to climb without sight, and why she likes climbing so much.

Visit the Go 4 It website for the Listen Again feature. Mehreen also features on the BBC Newsround website
