Dr. Masheter continued to climb in her 60s, first Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, followed by Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. On May 24, 2008, at age 61 years 7 1/2 months, she became the second oldest woman in the world to summit Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world. If Dr. Masheter summits the Carstensz Pyramid, a steep fin of limestone that rises out of equatorial jungle to over 16,000 feet in elevation next month, she will become the oldest woman in the world to summit the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent. Dr. Masheter now enjoys sharing lessons learned from her mountaineering experiences with others. At age 65, she also continues to climb.
