The first Welsh woman to climb Everest has been honoured by her home county of Pembrokeshire.
Tori James, aged 25, from Haverfordwest, scaled the world's highest mountain in May.
Not only is she the first Welsh woman to climb the peak, she is also the UK's youngest.
Tori, short for Victoria, scaled the 29,030ft-high Himalayan summit as part of a four-strong team from the London Business School who were raising funds for the Prince's Trust.
The climb was the latest challenge for the young adventurer and follows earlier treks up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Cho Oyu in Nepal.
In 2005 she braved polar bears and extreme cold to become the youngest woman to complete the Scott Dunn Polar Challenge, a 360-mile race to the Magnetic North Pole.
Born and brought up in Pembrokeshire with her younger sister Olivia, Tori's parents Jane and Richard farm at Clarbeston Road near Haverfordwest. To mark her achievement, Tori was the guest of honour at a reception at County Hall, where the Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, Councillor Bill Roberts, presented her with a plaque. |
