Overcoming the past and how! Meet Arunima Sinha, the first woman amputee to conquer Mount Everest

India TV News  

New Delhi: The story of Arunima Sinha is not ordinary by any means. Sinha, who climbed the world’s highest peak at 10:55 am on May 21, 2013, was a member of the Eco Everest Expedition from the Tata Group. Sinha said her elder brother, Omprakash Sinha, a former CRPF jawan, encouraged her when she disclosed her willingness to climb the world's highest peak, after getting an artificial limb. "Following the discussion, I had a talk with Bachendri Madam over phone, who promised to train me," Sinha, who did her basic mountaineering course with A grade from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarkashi, said. Arunima successfully scaled the 6,622-metre-high Mount Chhamser Kangri of Ladakh in 2012, but her ultimate goal was to climb Mount Everest.
