KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A Nepali Sherpa broke her personal report as probably 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 different climbers took advantage of favorable weather to achieve 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 well being and was safely descending from the height.

Sherpa, 48, never obtained an opportunity to get a proper schooling because she needed to begin incomes a living by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's successful ascent was her 10th — essentially the most times any girl has climbed Everest — and she or he has at all times said she wished to encourage all ladies in order that they too can obtain their goals.

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

Another Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the twenty sixth time Saturday, breaking his personal report for the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a bunch of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes alongside the route so that a whole bunch of other climbers and guides could make their technique to the highest of the mountain later this month.

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