She climbed her final Munro, Ben Klibreck, in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, at 4.57pm on Monday.
It is the third time the endurance athlete has climbed all of Scotland's Munros, with Ms Aarons first doing them in 2013 with partner Andy Taylor. She was supported by a team of 117 volunteers, who brought food, clothing, running shoes, bikes and overnight camping equipment to her along the way.
