China confirms Clara's feat<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Clara Sumarwati, the first Indonesian and
\nSoutheast Asian woman to reach the 8,848-meter summit of Mt.
\nEverest, has received a certificate from The Mountaineering
\nAssociation of The Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of
\nChina.<\/p>\n
The certificate reads \"This is to certify that on September
\n26, 1996 Miss Clara Sumarwati (Indonesian) has reached the
\naltitude of 8,848.13 meters above sea level on an expedition to
\nPeak Quomalong Ma of Mount Himalaya.\"<\/p>\n
A fax of the certificate was released to the media yesterday
\nin order to counter any doubts that Clara had not actually
\nreached the peak on her own. Skeptics said that Kaji Sherpa, the
\nmost acclaimed Himalaya guide, had dragged Clara to the peak.
