Santosh Yadav is an Indian mountaineer, born on 10 October 1967 in Joniyawas village in Rewari district, Haryana. She is the first woman in the world to climb Mount Everest twice, in May 1992 and May 1993, and the first woman to climb Everest from the Kangshung Face. She was barely 25 in 1992 when she became the youngest woman to scale the mountain, a record broken by Purna in 2014. During the 1992 climb she saved the life of a climber, Mohan Singh, by sharing oxygen with him. She trained at the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering in Uttarkashi.
