Premlata Agrawal conquers summit of Mt. Vinson in Antarctica

Premlata, sponsored by Tata Steel, completed her Mt. Vinson expedition on January 6, according to a press release.

The person, who is successful in conquering all the seven summits is considered to be a member of the 'Hall of Fame' for mountaineers.

If 49-year-old Premlata achieves this remarkable feat, which she is targeting to accomplish in 2013, she will then become the first Indian woman and one of the oldest women in the world to conquer all the seven summits.

With the successful climb of Mt. Vinson, she has only one peak left -- Mt. Mckinley --, which she narrowly missed to summit last year, because of rough weather.

The other peaks, she has scaled so far are Mt. Everest, (29,035 ft.), Killimanjaro (19,334 ft.), Aconcagua (22,841 ft.), Mount Elbrus (18,442 ft) Europe, and Carstensz Pyramid (16,023 ft) Indonesia, Elbrus in Europe, Mt. Carstensz in Australia.

These achievements were also recognised as a National Record and found her a place in the Limca Book of Records.

Premlata, a homemaker and mother of two grown up daughters, started climbing mountains at the age of 35.
