KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A Nepali Sherpa broke her personal record 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 in the morning, her brother and expedition organizer Mingma Gelu said. He said she was in good well being and was safely descending from the peak.

Sherpa, 48, by no means acquired an opportunity to get a proper education as a result of she needed to start earning a dwelling by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's successful ascent was her 10th — probably the most instances any girl has climbed Everest — and he or she has at all times mentioned she wished to inspire all women in order that they can also obtain their desires.

A local of Nepal, Sherpa lives in the U.S. along 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 report for probably the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a bunch of Sherpa climbers who mounted ropes along the route so that a whole bunch of other climbers and guides could make their strategy to the top of the mountain later this month.

Tons of of overseas climbers and an equal number of Sherpa guides are set to try climbs of Everest in May, the month when weather situations in the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
