#19 Background's not Sunday

Hey there,

Happy Monday!

Sometimes life throws us into situations that test every limit we have—and for Fay Manners, that moment came just a few days ago. You might’ve seen her in the headlines. She and Michelle Dvorak were stranded high up in the Himalayas for three long days, battling freezing temperatures and isolation before a dramatic rescue made global news.

What’s amazing is that even after such an intense experience, Fay has turned the narrative into something more than just survival. She’s given us an exclusive piece for Background Magazine called “Beyond the Summit: India Unveiled”. In it, she reflects on how her time in India has reshaped her perspective — not just on climbing, but on life itself.

This isn't just a story of adventure or endurance. It’s about the quiet moments when everything feels like falling apart.

Take a moment to dive into her world. It’s a ride you won’t forget. Click below to read the full story!
