New Delhi: Indian Army’s women mountaineers created history on Thursday by becoming the first women’s expedition to scale the Mt Everest.
Captain Shipra Mazumdar, Captain Ashwini Pawar, cadet Tshering Ladol and trainee Dechin Lhamo scaled the 8848-metre high peak between 6:15 a.m. 9:39 a.m.
The peak was also scaled by five members of the support team -- Major S S Shekhawat, Subedar Surjeet Singh, Naib Subedar Jagat Singh, Havildar Topgey Bhutia and Commando Kaman Singh.
The women mountaineering team scaled the world’s tallest peak from the Chinese side through the North Col Route, the Army said in a release.
Go Army! :)
The Kama Sutra taught 'em everything they need to know about , er, mountin'.
I'll only be impressed if they conquer Everest wearing nothing but lingerie and heels.
Somebody told them that there was a shoe sale on top of the mountain.
How many times did they stop and ask for directions?
You bad ;~)
"It might be chilly up there. Should I still pack my bikini?"
After 50 years of guys climbing Everest, they needed to send some girls to tidy the place up.
A local Washington State 20 yo chick just summited Everest the other day.
