She did it! Lithuanian climber Edita Nichols conquers Mount Everest
One and a half months of acclimatization, training, uneventful waiting at the Base Camp, and freezing weather – all for a fleering moment on the world's highest peak. In the early morning of Wednesday, May 22, Edita Uksaitė Nichols finally did it – she reached the top of Mount Everest.
Having left the last camp on Wednesday night, Edita's team went on the summit push on the more challenging northern side.
"I did it, I did it, I did it!" Edita called and told her partner right after safely descending to Camp 3. "It was so technical and so scary, it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life."
"You know what the best thing about it is?" she asked and, after a moment's pause, confided: "I will never have to do that again!"
According to Edita's blog, the group reached the summit at 8 AM. Due to challenging weather, only four people of the group of ten climbers made it to the top.
