mountaineer

“It’s just to be one of the best athletes in mountaineering.”

The 34-year-old mountaineer had previously climbed in the Alps, Patagonia and the Pamir Mountains.

"I quit university and my degree to pursue a career in mountaineering and sacrificed friendships, regular teenage life and more, but it was all worth it," the 23-year-old Londoner explained.

Then in 2003, a team of mountaineers found the body of one of the passengers.

A foot believed to belong to a British climber who went missing 100 years ago has been found on Mount Everest, in a discovery that may solve one of mountaineering's biggest mysteries.
