SHONA Thomson may be the only Scotswoman to have completed marathons on all seven continents.
But the Glasgow adventurer revealed she has hopes of scaling new heights - and wants to climb the highest mountains of the world.
Shona had some climbing practice when she tried out the Snow Factor Ice Wall, in the Soar at Braehead.
The fitness enthusiast will be at the centre on Thursday to give a talk - organised by one of her sponsors Ellis Brigham - on her achievements, future challenges and the reasons for quitting her highly-paid job in The City to become a full time endurance athlete.
She will be joined by her trainer David Arnot.
Shona said: "After resting up following my North Pole Marathon, which was one of the hardest races I have ever completed, I'm now looking for other challenges.
"And one of those challenges could very well be climbing the Seven Summits, which are the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.
"I've already climbed Kilimanjaro, so I've already got one under my belt."
