Scottish climber completes 'full house' of 1,072 peaks around UK
The 38-year-old becomes one of just over 100 people who have stood on all 1,072 summits.
Scottish climber Laura Baillie has accomplished the full house of the UK's highest peaks, reaching the summit of Carn na h-Easgainn in the Highlands. At 38 years old, she is among an elite group of about 100 individuals who have climbed all 1,072 summits, including Munros, Munro Tops, Corbetts, Grahams, and Donalds in Scotland, as well as Furths in England, Wales, and Ireland.
Laura chose the 2,025ft (617m) peak as her final ascent to allow family and friends to celebrate her achievement, including her 89-year-old grandmother who joined her at the summit near Tomatin, south of Inverness. Laura, a property manager from Glasgow, has dedicated countless early mornings and weekends to remote routes, wild camping, and hiking in various weather conditions to complete the challenge.
The Scottish Mountaineering Club, established in 1889, requires climbers to achieve 1,072 summits across six different hill classifications to earn the Full House distinction, which has been accomplished by just over 100 members.
