Breaking all her previous records, Phunjo Jhangmu Lama has set a new world record of climbing Mt Everest.

She has become the fastest woman to climb the highest peak of the world in 14 hours and 15 minutes.

Lama, who had started her ascent from the base camp at 3:52 am, stood atop Mt Everest at 6:23 am.

In 2021, Hong Kong's Ada Tsang Yin-hung had set a record as the fastest woman to climb Mt Everest in 25 hours and 50 minutes, breaking Phunjo Jhangmu Lama’s record of climbing the world’s highest peak in 39 hours and six minutes in 2018.
