Alison Jane Hargreaves (17 February 1962 – 13 August 1995) was a British
mountain climber. Her accomplishments included scaling
Mount Everest alone, without supplementary oxygen or support from a Sherpa team, in 1995. She soloed all the
great north faces of the Alps in a single season—a first for any climber. This feat included climbing the difficult north face of the
Eiger in the
Alps, in 1993. Hargreaves also climbed
Ama Dablam in Nepal.
