In 2010 Bonita Norris became the youngest British female to summit Mount Everest. She had only started climbing two years earlier, as part of a fitness regime to help her battle the eating disorder that had dominated her teens. She has now climbed a total of five Himalayan peaks, and even skied to the North Pole. Bonita tells India Rakusen about her journey to the top of the world, and the descent from Everest that nearly killed her.
