Geeta Samota First CISF Woman Scales Everest, Kyrgyz Women Summit Peaks, Sherpa Kami Rita Sets 31st Climb Record

In recent Mount Everest climbing achievements, Rysgul Akimjanova became the second Kyrgyz woman to reach the summit after Asel Baibagysheva, who was the first Kyrgyz woman to do so earlier in May. The renowned Sherpa guide Kami Rita set a new record by summiting Everest for the 31st time, highlighting the critical role Sherpa guides play in Himalayan expeditions. In a historic milestone for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Sub-Inspector Geeta Samota became the first woman from the force to scale Everest, completing part of her goal to conquer the Seven Summits and inspiring women in armed forces across India. Samota's ascent was marked by personal loss but powered by determination, and she expressed deep gratitude for the CISF's support and her Sherpa guide's crucial role. Her successful climb was celebrated with a grand welcome in New Delhi, emphasizing her commitment to showcasing women's growing roles in security forces. These varied accomplishments underscore the ongoing diversification and record-setting nature of Everest expeditions.
