Mollie Hughes last month became the youngest woman in the world to successfully climb Mount Everest from both its north and south sides.
Now, the Devon-born climber gives her first post expedition public talk on Tuesday, 13 June in Edinburgh.
The 26 year-old climber will list the challenges she faced and then host a question and answer session.
Tickets for the talk called Tales from the Top with Mollie Hughes are available at £13.15 each from Eventbrite here.
Edinburgh Napier University’s Lindsay Stewart Lecture Theatre on the Craiglockhart Campus on Colinton Road host the event and proceeds will be donated to Cancer Research UK.
Mollie, who lives and works in Edinburgh, said: “It is a terrific opportunity to share my motivations for undertaking the climb and the many challenges I faced with Jon Gupta and my sherpas on the north side of the mountain during the Tiso Returns to Everest Expedition.
“Hopefully my talk will raise further funds for Cancer Research UK and inspire many other young people to follow their own dreams.”
