Bramwell International Sponsors 1st British Female Attempt to Conquer All '14 - 8,000m Peaks' and '7 Summits'
Leading outdoor distributor Bramwell International is sponsoring Adele Pennington, leading British female high altitude climber, in her plans to become the first British woman to conquer all fourteen 8,000m peaks as well as the ‘Seven Summits’ – the highest peak on every continent. Summiting all of these is a tremendous challenge that has never been achieved by any British woman.
Adele has just returned from her fourth 8000m peak - Makalu (8481m Nepal) on 17th May 2011. Between 2007 and the present day Adele has stood on the top of Cho-Oyu (8201m), the central summit of Manaslu (8163m) and the top of the world (Everest) twice - the first British woman to do so - as well as reaching camp II on Shishapangma (8012m) and Gasherbrum II (8035).
Mountaineer and Motivational Speaker Adele Pennington has been receiving sponsorship from Bramwell International over the last year. She has tested Bramwell brands in some of the harshest conditions on the planet from the summit of Makalu Nepal, to rafting down the Indus River Ladakh and trekking in Ecuador; not to mention her climbing and walking trips around the UK and Europe. She is now about to embark on her biggest challenge yet.
Director of Bramwell International Nick Bramwell commented: “We are very proud to be able to sponsor such a tenacious and inspirational woman and have no doubt that when Adele Pennington sets her mind to achieving something, Adele Pennington will achieve it! We will be following her with great excitement on this fantastic journey.”
