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

Lakpa Sherpa and several different climbers took benefit of favorable climate to succeed in the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit early within the morning, her brother and expedition organizer Mingma Gelu mentioned. He mentioned she was in good health and was safely descending from the height.

Sherpa, 48, never obtained a chance to get a proper education because 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 occasions any woman has climbed Everest — and she or he has always said she needed to encourage all women in order that they too can achieve their dreams.

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

One other Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the twenty sixth time Saturday, breaking his own report for the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a group of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes alongside the route in order that tons of of different climbers and guides could make their approach to the top of the mountain later this month.

Tons of of overseas climbers and an equal variety of Sherpa guides are set to attempt climbs of Everest in Might, the month when climate situations within the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
