On May 14, 2022 at 6:20 AM local time, Liliya Ianovskaia and her youngest daughter Dasha stood together on the summit of Mount Everest (8,849 m) — only the third mother-daughter team in recorded history to summit Everest together.
It was Liliya's third eight-thousander, after Cho Oyu (2019) and Manaslu (2021). For Dasha, who has been her mother's most constant rope partner since their first expedition together on Kilimanjaro in 2011, it was the culmination of a decade of climbing together.
The mother-daughter summit was covered by Gripped Magazine, The Highlander, and CBC News.
The 2022 Everest summit was the first leg of what became Liliya's three-eight-thousander season — followed by K2 in July and Gasherbrum II in August.
