She became the first Iranian woman to summit all 14 of the world's highest mountains above 8,000 meters, following her successful ascent of Mt. Cho Oyu (8,188m).

Hesami Fard reached the summit of the world's sixth-highest mountain along with fellow climbers Chung-Han Lu from Taiwan and Anar Burasheva from Kazakhstan.

With this achievement, she joined a select global circle of climbers who have scaled all of the world's 8,000ers - a distinction previously held by only one Iranian, Azim Gheichisaz, in the men's category.

Cho Oyu (8,188m), straddling the Nepal-China border, is the sixth-highest mountain in the world and a popular objective for seasoned climbers pursuing all 14 of the world's highest peaks.
