Episode Summary:
In this episode, we explore the inspiring journey of Sheetal Raj, a trailblazing mountaineer from Salmoda, Uttarakhand, recognized as the first Indian woman to summit Mt. Cho Oyu, one of the world’s tallest peaks, despite undergoing knee surgery two years ago. She was inspired to continue her journey by the movie 12th Fail, with support from the Hans Foundation.
Raj's climbing milestones include scaling Everest in 2019 and becoming the youngest woman to conquer Kanchenjunga at age 22. Her achievements were further honored when she received the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award in 2021 by the President of India.
She emphasizes the importance of resilience, community support, and the impact of her achievements on future generations of female climbers. Her story is a testament to determination and the spirit of adventure.
