Climbing

Ershler started climbing in the 1990s.[2] In 1992, Ershler met her husband, Phil, a mountain guide who made the first American ascent of the North Face of Mount Everest.

On May 16, 2002, at 10:20 a.m. the Ershlers reached the summit of Mount Everest and became the first couple to have climbed the Seven Summits together.[3][2] Their ascent achieved a degree of wider note as they were in the group of 54 people who were climbing to celebrate the first ascent of Mount Everest by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, which included Norgay's son.[4]

Later life

Ershler continued to talk and write articles about climbing mountains in the years that followed her ascents.[5]
