Pompe has been sport climbing since she was 13 years old.[6] In May 2011, she climbed Mount Everest[7] as the first Swedish woman to summit from the north side[1] and complete climbing all seven summits . Despite marketing her attempt as a climb without oxygen, she did end up using bottled oxygen in order to make the summit. She has climbed all seven Seven Summits (including Puncak Jaya, and the last one Mount Vinson in January 2016).[8] She prefers nature and outdoors before the city or indoors and does most outdoor sports like climbing, free-diving, yoga, running, skiing, surfing, kayaking and mountain biking. As Annelie has spent most of her life in nature and has seen the effects of humans everywhere. She believes in giving back to nature through sharing and caring.[2] On one of the summit climbs ‘AMA Dablam’ she recalls the events from that night and the rest of the climb ‘going out of the tent just before midnights to start the climb is beyond excitement’ she exclaims. She remembers her body wanting to give up due to the pressure and illness however her mind reminded her that it was not an option. She recalls how she never had to wait for other people on a mountain however she did during this climb ‘ I have never before waited in line to climb on a mountain. On Ama Dablam we had to wait for several teams ahead who didn’t seem to have used the jumar before’. She remembers the constant noise of helicopters circling above them due to the amount of climbers unable to finish as they were well enough equipped ‘we saw them several times everyday when there was summit weather’. We learn from her blogs that she suffered immensely throughout this climb due to a serious cough which almost prevented her from exhaling by the time they reached base camp. We also learn that she sustained a injury on her left knee and left shoulder.[3] She is also a passionate advocate for the ocean and gives back through teaching free diving, ghost net giving and being an ocean ambassador for WWF. Her most well known achievements include WWT 126m WR, CWT 99m, FIM 72m PB and climbing the seven summit's.[4]
