Hilaree Nelson: Body of American ski mountaineer, climber's body found on Manaslu in Nepal

27-year-old Baljeet created the record when she scaled Mt Lhotse (8,517 m) on Sunday along with her guide Mingma Sherpa. Lhotse which is part of the Everest massif is the fourth highest mountain in the world.

The mountaineer from Himachal Pradesh completed this feat a day after she summited Mt Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Her attempt on Everest and Lhotse came just two weeks after she scaled two other massive eight-thousanders: Mt. Annapurna I and Mt. Kanchenjunga.

Baljeet climbed Mt. Annapurna I (8091-metre) on April 28 and Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586-metre) on May 12 - both of them relatively dangerous to climb. With that she became the first Indian woman to summit within two weeks, but she didn't rest on her laurels.

Baljeet comes from a humble background in Himachal. Her father, Amrik Singh, is a bus driver with the Himachal Road Transport Corporation. The family lives in Panjrol village in Solan district. She is one among the three children.

Eight-thousanders have an exalted place in mountaineering. These are peaks towering above 8000 metres. That height is critical in climbing as it's the 'Death Zone', where oxygen levels are too low for normal functions. There are 14 of eight-thousanders in the world. Wonder which one she is eyeing next.
