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

Lakpa Sherpa and a number of other other climbers took advantage of favorable weather to achieve the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit early in the morning, her brother and expedition organizer Mingma Gelu said. He mentioned she was in good health and was safely descending from the peak.

Sherpa, 48, never got an opportunity to get a proper education because she needed to start incomes a residing by carrying climbing gear and supplies for trekkers. Thursday's profitable ascent was her tenth — essentially the most instances any girl has climbed Everest — and she has at all times stated she needed to encourage all women in order that they too can obtain their dreams.

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

One other Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the twenty sixth time Saturday, breaking his own document for essentially the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a group of Sherpa climbers who mounted ropes alongside the route so that a whole lot of other climbers and guides could make their technique to the top of the mountain later this month.

Hundreds of international climbers and an equal number of Sherpa guides are set to aim climbs of Everest in Could, the month when weather circumstances within the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
