Lucy Westlake from Naperville reached the top of the 29,032ft mountain in Nepal on May 12 at 5:40 a.m. local time

She started climbing mountains with her dad at age seven and graduated from high school a semester early to be able to do this climb 

Summiting Everest can cost individuals anywhere from $30,000 to $160,000

At age 17, Westlake became the youngest female to climb to the highest points in all 50 US states

She has also climbed to the top of the highest points on most continents, including Kilimanjaro in Africa, Denali in North America, and Elbrus in Europe
