Case Oats in session and being on top of the world

Cerys hosts your Sunday sonic and cultural adventure with Case Oats in session and Rebecca Stephens MBE, the first British woman to reach the summit of Everest and the Seven Summits

Cerys hosts your Sunday sonic and cultural adventure, with Case Oats in session and Rebecca Stephens MBE, the first British woman to reach the summit of Everest and the Seven Summits. This is to tie in with International Mount Everest Day.

Case Oats are an alternative country five-piece from Chicago, who formed in 2018 and released their debut album, Last Missouri Exit, in 2025. They recently released their first new music since the album, the single Bottom Of An Afternoon.

Rebecca Stephens is the first British woman to climb the Seven Summits – the highest mountain of each of the seven continents – and the first British woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Rebecca began her career in journalism, writing for the Financial Times and was a presenter of Tomorrow's World in the 1990s. In 1989, aged 27, Stephens accompanied an expedition attempting to climb Mount Everest for a journalistic feature. Returning four years later, she reached the summit on 17 May 1993, becoming the first British woman to climb Everest. On 22 November 1994 she became the third woman, and the first British woman, to climb the seven continental summits of the Messner list, the highest/most challenging mountains on each of the seven traditional continents.

International Everest Day is observed on 29 May each year, to mark Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s first successful ascent of the mountain on 29 May 1953.
