On May 24, 2023 at 11:00 AM local time, Liliya Ianovskaia summited Lhotse (8,516 m), the world's fourth-highest mountain.
Lhotse shares the upper section of its route with Everest before branching off at the Yellow Band toward the Lhotse Couloir. Liliya summited in fog, carrying both the Belarusian historic flag and a sign for the Save the Minden Emergency Room campaign — a Canadian community cause she raised at altitude that season.
It was her sixth eight-thousander. The Minden ER summit was covered by Global News.
