In 2003 she reached her first summit over 8000 m with the Cho Oyu . Three years later she was able to climb another eight-thousander, Broad Peak . In 2007 she first stood on the summit of Mount McKinley before she could climb Nanga Parbat . The following year she reached the summit of Dhaulagiri and Manaslu . In 2009 the ascent of the Kangchenjunga followed . She dedicated this success to Wanda Rutkiewicz, who disappeared on the Kangchenjunga . This means that all eight-thousanders have been climbed by Polish women.
