Mount Everest 9:00 pm

Dear Diary
Today I scaled Mount Everest. I was standing on the ‘top of the world’. I am just 20 years and I never expected my dream to turn into a reality this soon. I was overwhelmed with emotions of patriotism and ecstasy. I felt proud as an Indian when I unfurled the tricolor on Mount Everest. I was so happy that I experienced a kind of spiritual bliss. I found it hard to articulate my feelings. While I was climbing us the mountain I was just a ordinary girl from Haryana but as I was coming down I was the first woman to successfully climb Mt. Everest from Kangshung Face. It is the eastern-facing side of Mount Everest, one of the Chinese sides of the mountain. It is 3,350 meters from its base on the Kangshung Glacier to the summit. I couldn’t stand the sight of the Himalayas littered with garbage. Hence, I collected and brought down as much as 500 kg of refuse from the pristine mountains.

Mount Everest ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 9:00 pm

Dear Diary,
Today, I'm felling very proud after standing at the world. I felt strong. The weather was holding. There was the small chance that the altitude would strike me down or that someone else might need my help.
Walking those last few steps to the true summit stick in my mind to this day. The snow crunched under my boots. I slid my Jamar up the fixed line as I had been doing for hours since departing Camp 4 at 9 pm. Ahead were the summit prayer flags and a small group celebrating their summit successes. An individual just ahead of me had carried up a statue of Buddha in a yellow and clear case and was assembling it.
As I reached the summit a great sense of accomplishment, self worth, and calm came over me. My immediate goal for the past 2 months of submitting Everest was nearly complete, although a long and dangerous descent was still ahead. I sat down, enjoyed the view, had a snack, and waited for the rest of my team to arrive. I filmed their arrival and you can) watch it on my Everest You Tube video(summit scene starts about 6:30
Upon arriving, there were hugs, high fives, summit photos, and rotating turns of standing on the very highest little snow mound.
Everest was also the culmination of years of apprenticeship and learning in the mountains. I felt like I had earned it through my time spent on Denali, Aconcagua, Elbrus, Mt. Rainier (many times), and Cho-Oyu (8,201m, the world’s 6th tallest peak) among other smaller peaks. I also had separate technical mountaineering training and Wilderness First Responder training. I was also proud of the way I climbed Everest.
The reality of climbing Everest didn’t sink in until I descended to Camp 2 and tried to call my parents via satellite phone. I got their voicemail saying, “Hi Mom and Dad, this is Vik and I’m back at Camp 2 after just having summited Mt. Everest" I almost couldn’t finish saying the words as tears came to my eyes.
Of course, I didn’t really feel done and safe until I was back through the Khumbu ice fall and back in base camp.The closest similar feeling I’ve had is with the birth of my children which was later, in 2020 and 2022.
