From the Northern Advocate article we have yet another thing to add to the list of amazing things she has done:
One of her reasons for taking on the challenge was to prove herself after a brain injury she suffered in a car crash in Dubai in 2006.
The injury took much of her memory and put a stop to her studies. When she returned to Whangarei after the accident she could no longer find her way around or remember people she grew up with.
Maybe that explains the remarkable memory recovery she constantly spouts as above. But it is highly unlikely that the head injury even exists. I have seen fabricated medical evidence of this and if she keeps on saying it I will publish it all. But you can tell this is all a fabrication when you read banal tosh like this:
It was also the realisation of a childhood dream. Reconstructing her memories with the help of family members, she learned she had nagged her father to take her to a real mountain, Ruapehu, when she was 4 years old. At the age of 7 she wrote in a diary that her goal was to “climb to the top of the world”.
“To discover a dream again, when you’re old enough to do something about it, is a gift,” Ms Going said.
Wow, another thing we can add to the list. Wrote in diary at age 7!
Basically Pearl Going is a lying little minx. It looks like she has conned the Northern Advocate and Sony, Adidas, Scarpa, Marmot, Discovery Channel (yes she has their logo in her promotion photos) with her latest escapade. If I were them I’d be very concerned about being associated with a fraud and a cheat like Pearl Going.
Finally the only evidence she has allegedly climbed this mountain is a photo of someone with goggle and a hood on at the top of a mountain.
Is this really Pearl Going?
Mountain climbers I know tell me that when you “summit” you always throw back the hood and show your face so there is evidence that you did do it. Not so for Pearl Going. Her guide however shows his face in an unpublished photo. There are a few more from her Facebook page, but not an awful lot from an expediction of this size.
UPDATE: Pearl has a blog site
