The comments about a pushy dad are totally ignorant. You don't know her dad or Sam for that matter. I've climbed with both of them and I can assure you that, allthough her father got her started, Sam is physically and mentally strong enough to climb any of the seven summits on her own. I think it is fantastic that they have accomplished this with the two of them. Anyone who has climbed any of the seven summits (especially Everest) will know how hard this is.
