Successful ascent of Mt. Aconcagua-7 March
Seven Summits Women team made successful ascent of Mt Aconcagua on 23rd Feb 2014. Four team members Chunu Shrestha, Nimdoma Sherpa, Asha Kumari Singh and Pema Diki Sherpa reached the summit around 6:15 pm local time. They waved the Nepali flag and the team banner along with the NMA flag on the top of the South American continent.

Weather was the major challenge the team faced. Since their arrival there has not been a single summit window except 23rd Feb. Therefore, the team made summit target in the 9th day of the expedition. They pushed for the summit from Camp II without setting up Camp III as there was no time for that. After 23rd, the weather has been exceptionally worse with lot of snow in the region.

Maya Gurung and Shailee Basnet decided to return from Plaza de Independencia at 6400 m because of the risk of frostbite. Pujan Acharya also decided to join them on their way back.
