Ilya Kovalchuk’s wife Nikol summits Mount Everest, has now climbed four of Earth’s highest peaks
Nikol Kovalchuk, the wife of former Capitals winger Ilya, is seeking to become one of just around 70 women to ever scale the world’s seven summits. On May 16, she crossed off what is likely to be the most difficult of those climbs as she officially summited the legendary Mount Everest.
Everest is Earth’s highest mountain above sea level, standing at 8,849 meters (29,032 ft).
Nikol announced the news to her followers on Instagram on Sunday.
