June 2nd, 2016: Lhakpa Sherpa
Who gets higher than other women? Lhakpa Sherpa, a divorced Mom from Hartford, CT, who has a permanent US Visa, can’t drive,
can't read or write, and works two jobs totaling $400 a week. But right now she’s on Mt Everest attempting her 7th summit, and that’s about as high as you can get. You never heard of Her? You're not alone. Quote:
........On her couch in Hartford .......................... Being carried into the kitchen tent, beaten by her Ex. Lhakpa was working for an Indian army expedition when she broke her femur, and it took her two weeks to make the three day trek back to Kathmandu. The next year she worked as a porter but also gave climbing a try, first on mere 6,000 meter(20,000 ft) bumps. As a Sherpa she isn’t hampered by fees and permits, she don’t need no stinkin’ permits. You can see her complete tumultuous life here.
