Leanna Shuttleworth

Leanna Shuttleworth is a British high-altitude mountaineer.[1][2]

In 2012, aged 19, Shuttleworth climbed Mount Everest and became the youngest British female mountaineer to reach the peak at that time.[3]On the sumitting of Everest on 20 May 2012, Shuttleworth was reported to have completed the Seven Summits challenge, having scaled the highest mountain in each of the seven continents.[4]

In the years since, Shuttleworth has been known for public speaking on issues regarding mountaineering, and has been available as a motivational speaker.[5] An article from 2 March 2013 quotes Shuttleworth: "I love trying to inspire, especially younger women, as climbing is so male dominated. I think its brilliant the amount of young women who can go up and accomplish their dreams compared to a long time ago."

In 2013 Shuttleworth worked on fundraising efforts to aid charity centre,[6] and through her blog and website has promoted and supported the Vitiligo Society.[7]
