Hesamifard announced on Saturday on her social media pages: “Dhaulagiri summit has been climbed.”
In addition to her professional mountaineering career, Ms. Hesamifard is also a physician.
She had previously climbed 11 of the world’s peaks above 8,000 meters.
This was her second attempt to summit the 8,167-meter Dhaulagiri, which she accomplished successfully.
The Iranian mountaineer had tried to climb this peak once before but was unsuccessful due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Dhaulagiri is the seventh-highest of the 14 peaks above 8,000 meters, located in the Himalayas within Nepal.
