Mount Roraima climbing challenge completed by Windermere woman

A woman from Cumbria has become the first woman to complete one of the toughest climbing challenges in the world.

Anna Taylor, from Windermere, climbed the 2,000ft (610m) sheer rock face of Mount Roraima, in Guyana, South America.

The 21-year-old, who started climbing at the age of 10, said the "most challenging" part of the expedition was "definitely the weather".
