In the end, Margaret Payne scaled her mountain, one step at a time.

The 90-year-old grandmother who launched an epic climb to raise money for charity completed her fundraiser on June 23. Payne scaled the stairs at her home the equivalent of 731 meters (2,398 feet)—enough to reach the peak of Scotland’s iconic Suilven mountain.
