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

Lakpa Sherpa and several other different climbers took advantage of favorable weather to succeed in 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 bought a chance to get a proper schooling because she had to begin earning a living by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's successful ascent was her 10th — essentially the most instances any lady has climbed Everest — and she or he has at all times said she needed to encourage all ladies so they can also obtain their goals.

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

Another Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the 26th time Saturday, breaking his own record for the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a gaggle of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes alongside the route so that a whole lot of different climbers and guides could make their technique 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 climate conditions in the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
