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

Lakpa Sherpa and several other different climbers took benefit of favorable weather to reach 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 health and was safely descending from the height.

Sherpa, 48, never received a chance to get a proper education as a result of she had to start earning a living by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's successful ascent was her tenth — the most instances any lady has climbed Everest — and she has all the time said she needed to encourage all women so that they can also achieve their goals.

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

One other Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the twenty sixth time Saturday, breaking his personal document for probably the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a bunch of Sherpa climbers who fastened ropes alongside the route in order that a whole lot of other climbers and guides can make their option to the top of the mountain later this month.

A whole bunch of international climbers and an equal number of Sherpa guides are set to aim climbs of Everest in Might, the month when weather circumstances within the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
