Yes. If what the Guardian wrote about her a few days ago is true, then she had no business to be on that mountain. Kili and Elbrus are long walks over a period of days in challenging altitude conditions .
To be fair, they did say that she was also an accomplished marathon runner who had been conditioning herself for Everest for six years. Just seemed very odd that they chose two walks to explain her mountaineering experience.
Possible it was a journalistic error, but stood out to me as weird.
If you have enough money, they'll take pretty much anybody up Everest.

Apologies for my ignorance, but, do you mean that this lady was unfit for the climb? I’m presuming a hike is not mountaineering?
