Kalpana Dash was an Indian mountaineer, born on 7 July 1966 and died on 23 May 2019. She was the first climber from the Odia community to scale Mount Everest, reaching the summit on 21 May 2008 as part of a team of five members drawn from the United States, Canada and Nepal. The summit followed two earlier attempts, in 2004 and 2006, that had failed because of bad weather and health conditions, so her success came after persistence through two setbacks on the same mountain.
