BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING survivor Adrianne Haslet has climbed one of the world’s tallest mountains.

Haslet reached the summit of 18,996-foot Volcan Cayambe with a team of climbers from the Range of Motion Project. The non-profit group helps provide prosthetic limbs to people around the world who don’t have access to them.
The expedition summited the snow-capped mountain yesterday.
Haslet was cheering for the runners in 2013 when she was injured by the second of two bombs planted among the crowds. Three people were killed and more than 260 others wounded.
