Pritam Bhattarai\/Kathmandu : Lucia Jani\u010dov\u00e1, a scientist, has scripted history by becoming the first Slovak woman to summit Sagarmatha. She stood atop the world’s highest mountain on 12 May, 2024, at 7:25 am, accompanied by Sherpas from Seven Summit Treks (SST), a leading Kathmandu-based expedition operator, said SST’s General Manager Thaneswar Guragai. <\/p>\n
A reputed researcher in immuno-oncology by profession, Janicova, 37, mother of 9-year-old Ad\u00e9lka, has been always on the hunt for something beyond her own borders, something that challenges her as a woman, and brings peace in life. Her passion for rock climbing grew the moment when she first tried climbing on sea cliffs. Gradually, she found her niche in climbing mountains. <\/p>\n
In preparations for the Everest expedition, she earlier climbed Mont Blanc (4,807 m), Mera Peak (6,476 m) and Aconcagua (6961 m). <\/p>\n
With an extensive expertise in drug development, cell biology, tumor immunology, sustainability, analytical skills, she experiences mountaineering as a tool of strengthening physical and mental health which pushes her higher and higher in the mountains. She says that her achievement was more than setting a record, inspiring and motivating women out there to be able to know their strength and trust themselves more. <\/p>\n
“When I found out that no Slovak woman had ever climbed Mount Everest, I saw it as a reflection of the deeply rooted gender inequality in our society and I decided to break this barrier.” <\/p>\n
Similarly, Veteran climber Kami Rita Sherpa climbed Sagarmatha for a whopping 29th time, surpassing his own record for the most ascent of the world\u2019s highest peak. He made this achievement on May 12 with SST. <\/p>\n
Kazakh skyrunner athlete Anar Burasheva achieved the distinction of becoming the first Kazakh woman to reach Mt Everest. Burasheva, who summited the peak on May 12, was part of a climbing team guided by SST. <\/p>\n
Also, Jordan Yogendra Chhetri, a British national of Nepali origin, has made history by becoming the first cancer survivor to summit Mt Everest, climbing with SST as well. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at least 30 climbers made it to the top of the world’s highest mountain with SST so far this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
