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

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

Sherpa, 48, never received an opportunity to get a formal education as a result of she had to start incomes a dwelling by carrying climbing gear and supplies for trekkers. Thursday's profitable ascent was her 10th — probably the most times any girl has climbed Everest — and he or she has all the time stated she wished to encourage all ladies in order that they too can achieve their dreams.

A local of Nepal, Sherpa lives within the U.S. together 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 own file for essentially the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a bunch of Sherpa climbers who mounted ropes along the route in order that a whole bunch of other climbers and guides can make their way to the highest of the mountain later this month.

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