But how utterly unbelievable it is that the sheer drive and skill pushed her beyond such a formidable height of the world in such a short stretch.

Born in the Gorkha district of Nepal, Phunjo combines a deep association with the Himalayas and an insatiable passion for mountaineering; it seems as though she pushed herself above her limits many a time. This was her latest exploit: making an ascent in less than 15 hours to set another record of rare endurance and competitive skill while climbing at high altitudes.

She climbed from the Everest Base Camp at 3:52 p.m. on Wednesday, which really showed the amount of hard training and practice she had undergone before attempting the climb. Against strong winds and extreme altitude, Phunjo pressed on to reach 6:23 a.m. on Thursday, covering this challenging terrain in just 14 hours and 31 minutes.

This feat is one more millstone in Phunjo's illustrious mountaineering career. Before this, in 2018, she had hit the headlines by setting a record for climbing Mount Everest in 39 hours and 6 minutes. Her success thus stands as an inspiration to fellow climbers and a source of empowerment to women in adventure sports.

Thus, Phunjo's rise to Sagarmatha epitomizes humanity at its best in terms of resilience and the intrepid spirit of exploration. Hers is indeed going to be one among those stories that will continue to inspire future mountaineers across generations to come.
