Alison Levine (born April 5, 1966) is an American mountain climber, sportswoman, explorer, and entrepreneur. She has ascended the highest peaks on every continent and also skied to both the North and South Poles. In 2010 at age 44, she completed the Last Degree Adventure Grand Slam by reaching the summit of Mt. Everest, having fallen only 200 feet short in her previous attempt in 2002 as part of the 1st American Women’s Everest Expedition. She is one of few people in the world to have completed the Grand Slam. She currently serves as an adjunct instructor at the U.S. Military Academy. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from University of Arizona and an MBA from Duke University. ==Early years== Levine was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, the middle child of Jack and Corinne Levine. Her father served in the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover and was one of the first special agents to publicly speak out against Hoover and the Bureau, which eventually cost him his career. Jack and Corinne moved from New York to Arizona in the early 1960s as a result of the fallout. Levine’s favorite hobby while growing up was riding horses which she often did several times a week at a local stable down the street from her house. She was also active in student government and in community theater. During her senior year at Central High School, Levine was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome; a life-threatening congenital heart defect that worsened as she got older. After high school she attended the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, earning a BA from the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (attending from 1984-1987 with an early graduation).
