Billi Bierling - Top of the world!

She made it.

According to her online journal, Billi Bierling reached to summit of Everest at around 09h45 on May 21.

For the latest info you can go here.

Now all we're waiting for of course is the safest of descents and a blow-by-blow account from the woman herself.

But that'll come later.

For the moment though, here's a mighty hug from all of those who've been following her here in France and obviously hearty "félicitations".
