Alison Hargreaves |

|
||||||
| Alison Hargreaves was an extremely talented climber who came to wide public attention in May 1995, when she became the first woman to climb Mount Everest alone and without bottled oxygen. Tragically, she was killed later the same year on K2, having completed the same feat on that mountain. | ||||||
