Russian climber Pekova becomes youngest woman to summit all 8,000‑meter peaks
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Russian mountaineer Anna Pekova has entered the Guinness World Records as the youngest woman to have summited every mountain in the world exceeding 8,000 metres.
Pekova achieved the record by reaching the summits of all 14 eight‑thousanders, a feat that places her among a very small group of climbers worldwide. The achievement was officially recognized by Guinness, marking a historic milestone in high‑altitude mountaineering.
The record underscores the growing participation of women in extreme mountaineering, a field that has traditionally been dominated by male climbers.
