On top of the world - 21 year Bristol student conquers Mount Everest

Bristol student Mollie Hughes has become one of the youngest British woman to conquer Everest. The 21 year old reached the summit at 2am (BST) this morning.

Mollie is currently recovering after an exhausting 12 hour climb down from the summit to Camp 4 at 8000 meters.

Her mother Jane Spreckley, from Torbay in Devon, says she is incredibly proud of her daughter's achievements "We're all beyond proud of Mollie. She's dedicated her life to today and has raised an incredible £2500 for her charity Action Aid." Jane, who still hasn't managed to speak to Mollie, said the group had radioed to base camp to say they'd made it and were safe "We were extremely relieved to hear everything has gone well and she is fine."

Mollie made the final push to the summit in near perfect conditions. After leaving base camp, her team made their way up the Lhotse face from Camp 3 crossing the Yellow band and Geneva spur before making a final camp at South Col. 

Speaking before the final climb to the summit Mollie said she was feeling confident, if slightly apprehensive about the ascent. The group had been waiting for a weather window for more than a week before attempting the climb.
