Seventeen-year-old Bianca Adler is creating a stir with her grueling yet record-breaking hike up Mount Everest.
She has documented days of struggling through snowstorms, being forced to turn back by the onset of frostbite, altitude sickness, snow blindness, and posted videos of herself barely able to speak.
Despite not having reached the actual peak of Everest, the 17-year-old reached the top of Mount Manaslu–the eighth-highest mountain in the world, towering 8,000 meters above sea level–making her the youngest to achieve the feat.
