KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A Nepali Sherpa broke her personal file 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 advantage of favorable climate to achieve the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit early in the morning, her brother and expedition organizer Mingma Gelu mentioned. He said she was in good health 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 living 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 has always stated she wished to inspire all women so they can also obtain their dreams.

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

One other Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the 26th time Saturday, breaking his own report for probably the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a group of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes alongside the route so that tons of of other climbers and guides could make their approach to the highest of the mountain later this month.

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