EW7SEA

 In May 2008, a team of young Nepali women became the most successful women’s expedition to ever summit Mt Everest. Against all kinds of socio-economic odds, this emerging team succeeded in doing what no one thought possible. Meanwhile, the members witnessed instances of impact of climate change during the Everest expedition and many other hikes, trek and travel.

With the first (and arguably most challenging) summit behind us, in our quest to do something that would be meaningful and helpful not just in Nepal but globally, an idea took shape: We would climb, as a team, seven of the highest peaks on seven continents, setting a world record of being the largest team to do so—and convinced by what we’ve witnessed, use the expedition to highlight the desperate issue of climate change. The journey has thus evolved into ‘Everest Women 7 Summits Eco-Action’ , a climbing challenge with climate message. 

 The journey started with Mt Kosciuszko/Tar Gan Gil in Australia in June 2010. The team made it to the summit of Australia on July 2010 and the following month climbed Mt Elbrus, the tallest in Europe. With three of the 7 summits climbed, the next mission is the rooftop of Africa-Kilimanjaro.
