Adele Pennington, Mountaineer and Motivational Speaker - Biography ..

Born on the 29th March 1966 in Corby Northamptonshire, Adele climbed her first mountain: Snowdon, in 1972.

Her mountain adventures did not progress much further until the early 80’s when she joined the Scarborough and District Search and Rescue team whilst studying for a PhD in Biochemistry at York University.

Adele’s apprenticeship to the delights and dangers of the mountains continued with excursions to the Alps, New Zealand and weekend trips to her homeland hills.

Climbing began to take over and after securing a full time teaching job took she took time off to make a winter ascent of Ama Dablam in 1998.
Following this highly successful expedition Adele had a serious accident in the Alps and her road to recovery saw her leaving the classroom to follow her passion for the mountains. The following summers were spent in Bolivia new routing with a group of friends and spending as much time as possible in the mountains.

In 2001 she decided to start a freelancing career and soon became part of Jagged Globe as an expedition leader and instructor which enabled her to climb in all the seven continents.

Between 2007 and the present day Adele has concentrated her efforts to the 8000m peaks. She has stood on the top of Cho-Oyu, one of the summits of Manaslu and the top of the world (Everest) twice .. (the first British woman to do so!) - as well as reaching camp II on Shishapangma and Gasherbrum II.

In between these trips she has worked the Scottish Winters and enjoyed some personal trips to Yosemite, Norway and in January 2010 returned from a journey to the top of Neilion (Mt Kenya).

Adele is a passionate instructor who is able to facilitate peoples mountaineering and climbing aspirations with the launch of Adele Pennington Mountaineering.
