First Woman To Skydive Mount Everest

Holly Budge has become the first woman to skydive in front of Mount Everest.

She achieved her dream yesterday morning, jumping from a small plane at 29,500ft, with the magnificent mountain as a backdrop. She landed safely on the dropzone at Syangboche, as did Neil Jones, a Canadian, who jumped out just before her. Wendy Smith from New Zealand was the third person to do the jump, and filmed Holly in freefall.

Holly is now heading back to the UK with her mum, Linda, who accompanied her on the trip, and they are both looking forward to being reunited with her dad, Nick, who is very proud of his daughter's achievement.

To see Holly landing and being interviewed on the dropzone check out the Channel 5 or Sky News websites.
