Moroccan Mountaineer Bouchra Baibanou Conquers Deadly Annapurna Peak in Himalayas

Known for her exploits in the field of climbing, Bouchra Baibanou has just honored her reputation again by climbing one of the most dangerous mountains in the world. Mount Annapurna is located in the Himalayas, in central Nepal, at an altitude of 8,091 meters (26,545 feet).

In a video shared on her Facebook page, the mountaineer who is also responsible for the Women’s Committee at the Royal Moroccan Federation of Skiing and Mountain Sports, we see her at the summit of Mount Annapurna carrying the national flag. "Thank God, I was able to climb Mount Annapurna, one of the most difficult mountains in the world. I dedicate this feat to King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, and to all Moroccans, as well as to the Moroccan, Arab and Muslim woman. Thank you to the sponsors who trusted me and allowed me to raise the Moroccan flag above the summit of Annapurna in the Himalayas."

Bouchra Baibanou is the first Moroccan to climb Kilimanjaro in Africa (2011), Elbrus in Europe (2012), Aconcagua in South America (2014), Mount McKinley in North America (2014), the Carstens Pyramids in Spain (2015), Everest in Asia (2017) and Vinson in Antarctica (2018), and in 2022, Mount Annapurna.
