Sinha, who was part of the 19-member TSAF team, climbed 21,110 feet before abandoning the expedition 690 ft short of the summit due to bad weather condition on September 4, Bachendri Pal, chief of Tata Steel Adventure Foundation (TSAF) said here today.
Three members of the team Rajendra Singh Pal, who climbed the Mt. Everest early this year, Susen Mahto and Madhumita Mahto scaled the summit on September 1.
Five members of the second team - Pratim Bhowmick, Hemant Gupta, Aashu Singh, Vimal Kumar, Rohit Kumar Soren and Arunma Sinha - climbed 21,110 feet when the expedition was abandoned.
Appreciating Sinha's determination and tenacity, Pal said she had followed the performance of Sinha very closely.
"Her never-say-die attitude was a clear indication of her passion to reach higher and higher," she said.
Expressing happiness over her achievement, Sinha said her ultimate dream was to conquer Mt. Everest.
"I have been undergoing rigorous training and I am confident that I will succeed, probably next year," 26-year-old Sinha, who lost her leg in 2011, said. MORE
