I think it's a reasonable statement that very very few 60+ year-old women have the finger and arm strength to do a legitimate pull-up on a chinning bar at the gym, let alone one hanging from fingers on a broken concrete ledge.

And if you haven't climbed an 8000-m peak, you probably have no idea of how difficult it is to function at that altitude. Props to her for saving the cat, using safe techniques, & to summiting Everest (& the others).
