The Advocate Post: Lhakpa Sherpa has a startling life story – to the outside world she holds the record for climbing Mount Everest a staggering 10 times, the most of any woman.

However, her private life has been perilous and frightening behind the scenes.
She claims that even when she was scaling the tallest peak in the world, her husband was abusing her at home, even throughout their 2004 Everest descent.

She is currently living in America and has worked as a cleaner and a grocery store employee to support her three children.

Mountain Queen: The Summits of LhakpaSherpa, a Netflix documentary directed by Lucy Walker, is based on her life, both on and off the mountain.

Sherpa feels good about the movie.
She tells to the media with her eyes burning, “I want to show people women can do it.”

Her record-breaking climbs may surprise you because of how little training she needs. As more than 300 people have died in the area since records of hiking there were first kept a century ago, conquering Everest can be deadly.
Being at your best is therefore essential.

In the movie, Sherpa walks in the mountains of Connecticut to stay in shape. But, she also continues, by necessity, with her regular professional life.
During our conversation, Walker tells Sherpa, “You’re an exceptional athlete.” really tall. incredibly powerful.

“People don’t give it enough credit. The fact that you can climb Everest while working your day job is an amazing feat.”

Sherpa says that

“I’m not good with being educated, but I’m very good with the mountains.”

Most importantly, she grew up in a place where girls weren’t encouraged to pursue higher education; she spent hours carrying her brother across the hills to get to school, but she wasn’t permitted inside. Sherpa’s lack of schooling, however, has had a lasting effect because she is still illiterate.
