Timeline
Komarkova died on May 25, 2005 at her home in Leysin, Switzerland of complications of breast cancer treatment.
Komarkova used Braun-Blanquet methods to classify plants floristically, a method unpopular in the United States, that gained recognition in 2004.
She returned to Europe in 1986 and worked at the American College of Switzerland in Leysin as Professor of Science and information technology.
Komarkova led The American Women's Expedition up Dhaulagiri in 1980, but were pushed back by storms, avalanches and the death of a team member. She retired from climbing after a successful expedition to Cho Oyu with Dina Štěrbová and Sherpas Ang Rita and Nuru, becoming the first woman to reach the summit.
To raise funds for the 1978 expedition, the team sold T-shirts with the slogan "A woman's place is on top". The T-shirts sales raised $60,000, which was over 75% of the estimated costs of the expedition. They were also sponsored by ob tampons, which Komarkova noted was "the unexpected advantage of an all-women team".
In 1976 she climbed Denali and the next year she opened a new route on Mount Dickey. These exploits impressed Arlene Blum so she invited Komarkova to her Annapurna expedition in 1978.
In the 1970s, Komarkova moved to Boulder, Colorado, and earned a PhD in plant ecology. Her dissertation was published as a book "Alpine Vegetation of the Indian Peaks Area". She was described by her colleague, Adolf Ceska, as "the greatest phytosociologist in the United States", but too far ahead of her time for mainstream recognition.
After gaining her degree Komarkova and her three friends made a female group called Šlápoty ("The Footmarks") to walk from Czechoslovakia to Mexico City for the 1968 Summer Olympics. Their feat was followed by the Czechoslovak media, and they averaged 25 miles a day for almost a year. They walked across Europe to England, then took a ship to Canada, then went down to Mexico City.
In 1963 she married a fellow botanist and alpinist Jiří Komárek [cs] , 11 years her older. She graduated the following year with masters of Biology.
Vera Komarkova was born on December 25, 1942 in Písek, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. She was married to Vladimir Farkas, Esquinoza Aquillar and Jiri Komarek.
