An enthusiastic mountaineer, Hannah has climbed extensively in Ireland, Scotland, The Alps, South America and Nepal. In 2007 she returned to climb Mount Everest for the third time, from the North-Tibetan side will the all male 7 summits Russian Team and successfully accomplished this on 19th May.

In 2003 she climbed the south face of Everest but unfortunately due to frostbite in her toes and fingers together with three cracked ribs, had to retreat approximately 100 vertical meters from the summit. On this same descent she stopped and single handedly rescued a fellow mountaineer who was dying at 7500m.

More recently Hannah successfully completed the Polar-Challenge and was one of only five people and the only female to have completed the race. The race involved hauling a 100lb pulk over 350 miles of Arctic wasteland to the Magnetic Pole. She was awarded the Wedgwood Polar Endeavour trophy for her leadership, courage, determination, humour and selflessness on the race.

Since competing in the polar challenge race, she has been involved in teaching individuals and groups survival skills which will enable them to travel and work in extreme cold climates.

In addition to this, Hannah took up running at the age of 34 and has represented and won awards for her country in cross-country and athletic competitions and Great Britain in mountain marathon races all around the world. She is still representing Northern Ireland at Masters Cross-Country.

Her efforts have been recognised in a series of media and achievement awards over recent years.

Hannah is already in training for her next expedition, which will be an unsupported expedition to the geographic North Pole via Canada in February 2008.

“Hannah inspired us with her drive and enthusiasm; she makes you believe that you can achieve anything if you only believe in yourself and have the self belief to make it happen.”
