Adriana Brownlee - On a mission to summit all 14, 8000m peaks and become the youngest woman ever to do so.

<div> <div>Adriana in her own words:</div> <div> </div> <div>“My aim is to become the youngest person to complete all 14 8000m peaks. The current record is 30 years 166 days, held by Mingma "David" Gyabu Sherpa, an absolute legend with whom I got to climb on both K2 and Everest. My plan would be to summit all 14 in 3-4 years meaning I would be 23 years old when I complete my mission.</div> <div> </div> <div>In 2021 I summited three of them, Mt. Everest, Mt. Dhaulagiri and Mt. Manaslu all within 6 months.</div> <div> </div> <div>This is a challenge of both mental and physical resilience, power and grit.</div> <div> </div> <div>High altitude mountaineering is one of the deadliest sports in the world, this doesn't scare me. It ignites a fire of passion inside me.”</div> <div> </div> <div>“Be the trailblazer of your own life”</div> <div> </div> <div>New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don’t miss out. </div> <div> </div> <div>Support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media especially in relation to adventure and physical challenges.
