'''Krushnaa Patil''' is an [[India]]n mountaineer. In 2009, at the age of 19, she became the youngest Indian woman to successfully ascent [[Mount Everest]], earth's highest mountain.<ref>{{cite news|title=Krushnaa Patil is the youngest woman in India to climb Mount Everest|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/interview-krushnaa-patil-is-the-youngest-woman-in-india-to-climb-mount-everest-1352015|accessdate=29 January 2015|agency=dna news}}</ref> She is also the first civilian woman from [[Maharashtra]] to scale the peak.<br />
<br />
Her record of the youngest Indian to climb Everest has subsequently been surpassed by younger mountaineers.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://people.com/celebrity/indian-girl-13-becomes-the-youngest-person-to-climb-mount-everest/ | title=Indian Girl, 13, Becomes the Youngest Person to Climb Mount Everest | first=Andrea | last=Billups | work=People | date=7 June 2014 | accessdate=5 November 2018 }}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news|title=After Everest, Krushnaa Patil sets sight on new peaks|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-after-everest-krushnaa-patil-sets-sight-on-new-peaks-1517056|accessdate=29 January 2015|agency=DNA|date=8 March 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
For Krushnaa Patil's family, vacations were always in the Himalayas. She enrolled in the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) at [[Uttarkashi]] for a Basic Mountaineering Course in 2007 followed by an Advance Mountaineering Course in 2008.<br />
<br />
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 [[Uttarakhand]]). Everest followed in May 2009, when she became the second youngest Indian (after [[Dicky Dolma]]) to summit the peak.<br />
