KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A Nepali Sherpa broke her own record 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 other climbers took benefit of favorable climate 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 well being and was safely descending from the peak.

Sherpa, 48, by no means got a chance to get a formal education as a result of she needed to begin earning a dwelling by carrying climbing gear and provides for trekkers. Thursday's profitable ascent was her 10th — the most instances any girl has climbed Everest — and he or she has always mentioned she wanted to inspire all women in order that they too can obtain their dreams.

A native of Nepal, Sherpa lives in the U.S. 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 own document for essentially the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a bunch of Sherpa climbers who mounted ropes along the route so that lots of of other climbers and guides could make their approach to the highest 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 Could, the month when climate conditions in the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing.
