Nepali Climber Phunjo Lama Shatters Women's Everest Ascent Record!

Nepali mountaineer Phunjo Lama has made history by becoming the fastest woman to climb Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, completing the ascent in an astonishing 14 hours and 31 minutes. This remarkable achievement, accomplished on Thursday, has significantly shattered the previous record for the fastest ascent by a woman. Climbers typically take several days to reach the summit, making Lama's rapid climb all the more impressive. Starting her journey from the base camp at 3:52 pm on Wednesday, she reached the 29,032-foot summit by 6:23 am local time on Thursday. This feat not only showcases her exceptional climbing skills but also places her prominently in the record books of mountaineering history.
