Rebecca Steven
Rebecca Steven was the first woman to climb Mount Everest.
Before she went up the highest mountain in the world, she was a
journalist and lived in a small flat in south London
In 1993, Rebecca left her job and her family and traveled to
Asia with some other climbers. She found that life on Everest is
hard. “You must carry everything on your back,” she explained, “so
you can only take things that you will need. You can’t wash on the
mountain", and in the end I didn’t even take a toothbrush. I am
usually a clean person but there is no water, only snow. Water is
very heavy so you only take enough to drink!”
When Rebecca reached the top of Mount Everest on May 17 th
