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

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

Sherpa, 48, by no means got an opportunity to get a proper training because she needed to begin earning a residing by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's profitable ascent was her 10th — the most times any woman has climbed Everest — and she or he has at all times said she wanted to encourage all girls so that they too can achieve their desires.

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

Another Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the 26th time Saturday, breaking his personal record for the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a bunch of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes along the route so that hundreds of other climbers and guides can make their way to the top of the mountain later this month.

Lots of of overseas climbers and an equal variety of Sherpa guides are set to attempt climbs of Everest in May, the month when weather conditions within the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
