In 1984, Bachendri Pal became a household name when she conquered Mount Everest, becoming the first Indian woman to do so. Her success, however, cast a shadow over her teammates. Chandraprabha Aitwal, Rita Gombu, Rekha Sharma, Harshwanti Bisht, and Sharawati Prabhu also attempted the climb but fell short of the summit — and the ensuing stardom. 

Rita Gombu Marwah hails from the first family of Indian mountaineering. Her great-uncle, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, made history when he recorded the first documented ascent of Mount Everest along with Sir Edmund Hillary in May 1953. Rita’s father, Nawang Gombu Sherpa, was the first man to summit the world’s tallest peak twice. Driven by her heritage to love the mountains, Rita trained rigorously and was thrilled when she was named part of the 1984 expedition to Everest, a team of six Indian women and eleven men to attempt the ascent. 

As a member of Bachendri's team and a remarkable climber in her own right, Rita came agonisingly close to the summit before being thwarted by harsh weather conditions. Her attempt to reach the summit was cut short by only 200 meters due to adverse weather. In this episode, we hear the story of that almost-perfect moment from Rita Gombu Marwah. 

Despite their personal setback, Bachendri's success brought joy to Rita and her teammates, though the anguish of opportunity lost would haunt them all their lives, underscoring the bittersweet aftertaste of sporting achievements.

200 Meters From Glory - Rita Gombu Marwah on Mount Everest

GROVER

It's about time we left Chomolungma to be the holy place she is. It's about time we started caring for nature again.

Based on this poem:

Billions of heartbeats beneath
Her ribs. The granite cage of birth
From under the sea up
And away.

So hard to let go, 
To open up and allow new
Breath amid the schists
And gneisses in the half-mists.

Limestone marks her own
Heart, the beating slow and frozen,
Here at the top, and choking
From the mess her children
Make of her and the world.

She barely remembers
Being a goddess mother,
How she emerged from the ocean
Carrying hope in her braided
Hair, so white now,
Streaming from her in plumes.

Rest awhile, just to gather
Enough strength to stop
Conceiving
To start
Believing
Again, in the art
Of sanctity.

Beneath her ribs.
Beneath her.
Beneath.

Goddess Mother (The Real Name For Everest)

Greifst du nach dem Höchsten? Wählst du wirklich alles, was du wählen kannst? 

In dieser Folge von Wahl, Veränderung und Aktion spricht Simone Milasas mit Andy Dorantes über ihre Abenteuer im Leben, darunter ihre Besteigung des Mount Everest und ihr neuestes Projekt, eine Radtour von Nordnorwegen nach Südportugal. 

Die Dinge, für die sich Andy entschieden hat, sind unglaublich und eine große Inspiration, aber sie musste ihre Komfortzone verlassen, um aktiv zu werden. Wo glaubst du an das, was andere Menschen und die Gesellschaft dir sagen, was du tun kannst oder nicht? 

Andy hat herausgefunden, dass du dich nur eine Sache wählen musst und der Rest ergibt sich von selbst. Das Universum steht hinter dir!
