ADRIANA'S MISSION
On a Mission to Become the Youngest Woman to Climb the World’s 14 Highest Peaks Over 8,000M
Adriana Brownlee is on a mission to become the youngest woman to climb the world's 14 highest peaks, each towering above 8,000 meters. Aged just 21 years old, she became the youngest person to climb K2 - a mountain known for its high fatality rate and technical difficulty. Fuelled by determination and her spirit of adventure, Adriana has conquered the majority of these giants, including, Mount Everest, Manaslu, and Annapurna. Despite setbacks along the way, she remains determined to complete her 14 peak challenge - smashing several world records along the way. Beyond setting records, she seeks to inspire other women to pursue adventures in the mountains as well as raising money for charities close to her heart.

TACKLING THE WORLD’S HIGHEST PEAKS
A multi-world record breaking attempt
Adriana stands as a young but formidable force in the mountaineering world, having successfully summited 13 of the world's 14 highest peaks. Yet her quest remains yet to be completed. Now she sets her sights on Shishapangma in China - the final peak she needs to conquer in order to become the youngest woman to summit all 14x 8,000m peaks.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Adriana remains determined to achieve her goal. Pursuing her dream she continues to inspire other climbers worldwide to push their boundaries, and never to give up.
UPDATE FROM THE MOUNTAIN
Adriana Brownlee successfully summits Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II - completing 13 of the world's 14 highest peaks that she seeks to climb
Adriana has successfully reached the summit of Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II, the eleventh and thirteenth highest peaks in the world. This achievement marks the penultimate summits of her quest to conquer all 14 of the world's highest peaks.
Braving severe cold and high winds, Adriana navigated the mountain’s icy slopes successfully reaching the summit of Gasherbrum II with supplemental oxygen, after two previous failed attempts without. Gasherbrum I was a different story, with Adriana and her partner, Gelje successfully completing their summit attempt of G1 without supplemental oxygen. For Adri, this was her first ever 8,000m peak without the use of supplemental oxygen. A huge milestone in her journey.
Adriana has now just one peak left - Shishapangma - to achieve her goal of climbing all 14x peaks that reach over 8,000 meters above sea level. In doing so, she is on course to become the Youngest Woman in the world to do so.
