KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A Nepali Sherpa broke her personal report as essentially the most successful female climber of Mount Everest by reaching the summit of the world's highest peak Thursday.

Lakpa Sherpa and several other other climbers took advantage of favorable climate to succeed in the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit early in the morning, her brother and expedition organizer Mingma Gelu said. He stated she was in good well being and was safely descending from the height.

Sherpa, 48, never acquired an opportunity to get a proper education as a result of she had to start earning a living by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's profitable ascent was her 10th — essentially the most instances any lady has climbed Everest — and she or he has at all times said she wanted to encourage all women so they too can obtain their goals.

A native of Nepal, Sherpa lives in the U.S. with her three kids in West Hartford, Connecticut.

Another Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the twenty sixth time Saturday, breaking his personal file for essentially the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a group of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes along the route in order that a whole bunch of different climbers and guides can make their approach to the top of the mountain later this month.

A whole lot of overseas climbers and an equal number of Sherpa guides are set to attempt climbs of Everest in May, the month when weather circumstances within the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
