Bonita Norris has become to youngest British woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest at the age of 22.
Miss Norris, from Wokingham, Berkshire, made it to the summit of the world's highest mountain early on Monday morning, a spokeswoman for MPTU, her main sponsor, said.
Writing on her website, she said: ''One morning, in 2008, I woke up with a crazy idea - the kind of idea you dismiss as a pipe dream. The kind of idea that you feel embarrassed to have even considered yourself able to put into action. But it stuck - my idea was to climb Everest in its spring season of 2010, and raise a shed load of cash for charity along the way.''
She has raised money along the way for Global Angels, an international foundation championing the causes of children around the world, through her Top Up Everest campaign.
