Moni Mulepati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moni Mulepati is the first non-Sherpa Nepalese woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, having reached the peak on 30 May 2005. At the same time, she became the first woman to be married at the summit by marrying her climbing partner Pemba Dorjee (not Pemba Dorjie the Everest record holder), a Sherpa who first reached the summit of Everest the year before as a high-altitude porter for the Friendship Beyond Borders Expedition.
