18 year old Lucy Westlake is going to run for USC in the fall and just climbed Mt Everest. I haven't looked her her HS times but she will be running XC
For certain. She'd been climbing with her dad since she was young. As much of a stunt Everest is, she at came to it as a natural progression of her climbing. She'd done a lot of peaks before taking this on.
This is it about this? If anyone deserves a "LUCY MF WESTLAKE!!!" post its her. Westlake is already a legend at 18. No one can overachieve like this kid. Sets up a clean water foundation as a teenager that brings clean water to multiple African countries. Has already climbed all the tallest mountains in EVERY state in the US and most of the tallest mountains in the world. Graduates early from high school with a 4.6 GPA. Has done more than most people do in a lifetime. I only knew her because she was an elite cross country runner. But what shes accomplished here in the past few years has been mind blowing. more big things ahead no doubt.
Must be nice to have a rich dad who pays for Everest and then some.
"I started climbing because my family is very adventurous. My life's mantra is 'limits are perceived,' so I love pushing myself to my very limit and discovering what my body and mind can do. So what better way to do it than climb the highest mountain in the world."
Climbing the world’s highest mountains to raise awareness for our world’s water and sanitation crisis. 884 million people lack access to safe water and a child dies every 2 minutes from a water-borne illness. My dream is for everyone on our planet to have access to safe water in our lifetime. This YouTube channel highlights the adventures of chasing this dream. Thanks for your support!
"Prior to reaching the top of Mount Everest, the teen has already set records, becoming the youngest female to summit the 50 U.S. state highpoints last June."
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do what she did at her age, but I was too busy working summer jobs.
What a bunch of little whiny terds on here griping about someone else’s money. Best cancel her and all her accomplishments. Feel free to list what all you’ve done. Oh never mind you’ve been working, waaaaaaa. Get over it and get a life.
Love the bitter incel logic of "big deal anyone can climb Everest if they have money". That must be why every rich person ever born has climbed Mount Everest by the time they were 18. Oh wait...
We get it. You guys are underachieving nobodies and failures and Lucy Westlake is the most blatant painful reminder of that fact: a young, big hearted, smart, high achieving, generous, incredibly ambitious popular kid who everyone looks up to and who gets sh*t done. So, yes, she is the opposite of you in every conceivable way. and thank god for that. but dont let me stop you from making bogus excuses about why you havent accomplished 2% of what this girl has in just 18 years of life. clearly being a miserable troll on letsrun is the height of achievement...

How the eff does someone downvote this? Jealousy? So weird.

And she was setting up/developing scenarios for clean water in Africa. What have YOU done today to help your fellow humans? See how that works? She also works in the summers, just like you. You people are the biggest whiners around. Wtf?
