Squash Falconer - formerly of the Lipstick Blondes who climbed Himalayan giant Cho Oyu last year - likes to add a bit of style to her adventure.

And none more so than her most recent expedition.

Not only did she ride to Mont Blanc on a BMW GS F650 bike, but she climbed Western Europe's highest summit before paragliding back down from the top.

The mission was far from easy - Squash had to wait patiently for a clear window in the weather, slog her way up Mont Blanc with a paraglider on her back and counter turbulence once in the air - not to mention trying to land in crampons!

You can read the full account of her experience in her blog here.

Squash has so far managed to raise almost £1,000 for Cancer Research UK. Click here to support her.

Keep an eye out for a video of the expedition coming soon to LFTO
