A mother from Makó has conquered the world’s 8th highest summit

Reaching the summit was successful, Éva Kerekes and Angelika Herczeg have conquered the world’s 8th highest peak – as stated in Délmagyar. In 2015, Éva who is working as a bookkeeper in Makó had decided that she would want to do something ’foolish’ for her 43rd birthday. Thus she wanted to celebrate on the summit of Mont Blanc.

It was Éva’s fourth time climbing with Angelika.

“The first summit we climbed was the 5550 metres high Kala Pattar when we were at the Himalayas in 2016. We immediately decided that we will return that year to climb Mera Peak. But before we did, the 5642 metres high Mount Elbrus was next. It was here that we realised that we could move together well in the mountains, which is very important” – Éva tells.

Last year in November, the two ladies also conquered Himlung Himal with its 7126 metres high peak, and now, they managed to climb the world’s 8th highest summit, Manaslu, which is 8163 metres high.
