Today is the day in 1984 when Bachendri Pal became the first Indian woman to scale Mount Everest. It was little after noon that she reached the top where she then spent about 43 minutes (source: wikipedia).
Bachendri now works for Tata Group where she helps management teams of Tata Steel to build team spirit through adventure activities.
Today again is the day when a 18-year old American woman from California, Samantha Larson has reached the summit. Samantha creates record of sorts by being the youngest non-Nepalese woman to climb Everest.
Ming Kipa Sherpa was only 14 year old in 2003 when she as the youngest girl ever scaled the Everest from the Tibetan side.
Here is a video of Smantha Larson presented by Associated Press.
