TWO Sydney women have reached the summit of Mount Everest, creating history as the first mother-daughter team to climb the world's tallest mountain.

Cheryl Bart and her 23-year-old daughter Nikki reached the peak at 9.05am (AEST) today after setting out on April 1.

The pair - dubbed Oz Chicks with Altitude on their official website - have endured bitter cold and several delays on their 8850 metre Himalayan ascent.

A team spokesman said they were now the first mother and daughter team to have climbed the tallest peak in each of the seven continents.

The pair have had to contend with delays such as the ascent of the Beijing Olympic torch and having their communications gear temporarily confiscated amid the tight security.
