Krushnaa Patil height - How tall is Krushnaa Patil?

She is on a quest to become the first Indian woman to scale the Seven Summits, the highest peaks of the seven continents. Trying to fit all seven peaks in a year, Krushnaa has finished four: Everest (Asia), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Vinson Massif (Antarctica) and Aconcagua (South America). She was hoping to finish the last three—Mount McKinley (North America), Elbrus (Europe) and Kosciuszko (Australia)—before May 2010.

Krushnaa is a part of an international expedition on clean water access and conservation program, which, through 2014 - 2020, will promote access to fresh water around the world with a team of eight women, from six continents.

Her record of the youngest Indian to climb Everest has subsequently been surpassed by younger mountaineers. In 2010, Krushnaa attempted to ascent the Seven Summits. Her last summit on Mount McKinley had to be abandoned due to technical reasons, leaving her one short of completing the feat.

Krushnaa Patil is an Indian mountaineer. In 2009, at the age of 19, she became the youngest Indian woman to successfully ascent Mount Everest, earth's highest mountain. She is also the first civilian woman from Maharashtra to scale the peak.

Soon after, Patil got the chance to be a part of the pre-Everest expedition, and at 18, became the youngest person to scale the Mount Satopanth (Garhwal Himalayas in Uttaranchal). Everest followed in May 2009, when she became the youngest Indian (after Dicky Dolma) to summit the peak.

She scaled Mount Everest on 21 May 2009, becoming the second-youngest Indian to ascend the peak at the age of 19. The record was broken by Arjun Vajpai on 22 May 2010, exactly one year after Patil's ascent. It was then broken by three others, Nameirakpam Chingkheinganba, at 16 years and 7 months, Raghav Joneja at 15 years and 7 months, and finally Malavath Purna at 13 years and 11 months, who also holds the world record for being the youngest person to climb Everest.

For Krushnaa Patil's family, vacations were always in the Himalayas. As a 20-year-old she enrolled in the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) at Uttarkashi for a basic course in 2007 followed by an advance course in 2008.
