It's a challenge for Australia to break new ground.
The highest peaks have long been mastered.
This is the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and once went nearly four years without defeat in 50-over cricket.
The secondary achievements, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a team that has accomplished all there is.
The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, reclaiming their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.
It is hard for their batters to hold a record if never given the chance.
Finally, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy being given a chance to create her newest gem.
Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.
A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have resulted from 10 tries across formats.
The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.
That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.
At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not fall short again.
If this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.
Some will argue the case for the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.
What's definite is this hundred was much more difficult to predict.
The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.
"If you've been watching me in training, it has been a challenging time because I feel like I've had no rhythm at all," commented Healy.
"But once you take the field, your competitive nature take over and you completely engage with the contest."
Healy's competitiveness has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.
She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.
A single came off the opening delivery and from that point the right-hander was underway.
"The possibility to play and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.
She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.
When she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.
"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm happy we have the belief to do that now," continued Healy.
"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, if necessary, we believe we can succeed."
That comment will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this tournament need to hear.
During the last week a sense they will win from any position has become more firm - this victory coming after win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at a certain moment.
Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.
During that phase they exited the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a significant event.
So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated through the pain.
However although she later admitted those fitness problems have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as captain.
Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
