Lhakpa Sherpa is set to break her own record and climb Mount Everest for the 10th time.
Sherpa, who already holds the record for the highest number of successful Everest ascents by a woman, arrived in Kathmandu from the United States of America on Friday and was feted by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) on Monday. The Association wished her the best for her attempt at scaling the world’s tallest mountain a historic 10th time and handed her an NMA flag to hoist at the top.
