She finished the challenge in 31 days 10 hours and 27 minutes, breaking the previous record by more than 12 hours.
The 282 mountains that meet the standard are collectively referred to as Munros. Aarons completed the challenge by ascending 459,000 feet, or 16 ascents of Mount Everest.
Between each Munro, she ran, cycled, and kayaked as well, reaching a combined distance of around 932 miles (1,500 km) on foot and roughly the same distance by bike.
Aarons is originally from California but relocated to Scotland in 2005 to serve as a social work adviser for the Scottish government.
She started the effort on May 26 at Ben More on the Isle of Mull and concluded it on May 31 at Ben Klibreck in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands at 16:57 BST.
Former marine Donnie Campbell of Skye previously held the record for a self-propelled Munro challenge. It took him 31 days, 23 hours, and 2 minutes to finish the task.
The previous record for the quickest woman was set in 2017 by Libby Kerr and Lisa Trollope, who finished the challenge in a combined time of 76 days and 10 hours. Aarons’ time was likewise less than half of that record.
She has already scaled all of the Munros twice, once with her partner Andy Taylor and once with Mr. Taylor, the couple’s two dogs, and their gear.
In addition to breaking the record, Aarons raised £14,000 for World Bicycle Relief, a charity that gives bikes to kids in less developed countries so they may be more mobile and have better access to necessities like schools, markets, and medical facilities.
“My journey will take me across the length and breadth of Scotland, across sea and lochs, from remote glens to the highest point in the United Kingdom; and across more miles of bog than I care to think about,” she said at the start of the marathon.
She continued by saying that donating money to a worthy cause would “motivate me through the tough miles.”
