A teenager who became the youngest British woman to scale Mount Everest at the weekend has described the harrowing moment she walked around mountaineers killed in last weekend's deadly storm.

As Leanna Shuttleworth ascended the top of the world's highest summit, she had to walk around dead and dying climbers - some of whom were still attached to the fixed mountaineering lines.

Miss Shuttleworth echoed reports of the dangerous 'traffic jam' at Everest's summit.

The 19-year-old said about 150 climbers all rushed to summit the mountain during a small window of good weather and the queues to ascend to the peak caused dangerous delays.
