Polish lady climber Kinga Baranowska summited Kangchenjunga today.
When it comes to female climbers, the first country finished the 14 Main-8000ers today! At least one Polish woman summited each of them!
Kinga dedicated the ascent to Wanda Rutkiewicz! What a fine historical circle was closed today!
