Adriana Brownlee, from Teddington, London, is the youngest female to summit the world's 14 tallest mountains over a period of three years.
Adriana Brownlee has achieved a dream she had ever since she was a little girl When Adriana Brownlee was an eight-year-old girl, she dreamt of being famous for climbing the highest mountain in the world – Mount Everest. Fast forward 12 years later, her dream came true when she was just 20-years-old. But Everest was just the first in a long line of mountains that Adriana had in her sights. Now, at the age of 23, she has become the youngest female to climb the world’s 14 highest peaks.
‘To warm them up I put them in my guide’s armpits which prevented my fingers from falling off. ‘I still struggle to feel the sensation in my fingers. ‘Then we were on the summit and suddenly I felt all my energy drained and my eyes felt like they started to darken. A number of world records have been broken by her ‘Me and the guide noticed our oxygen levels had reached zero and we were 8,200m high. ‘I tried to calm myself down because the guide didn’t have a radio.
