Hard work and strong constitution

7.3 stars.I was moved by this documentary. This woman, apparently some sort of Nepalese peasant girl, born in a cave, born a Sherpa. She explains the Sherpa girls, they are born with the name Sherpa and their first name is the day of the week, and she was born on a Wednesday, thus Lhakpa. And so with that tidbit of knowledge given to us, we embark on her most recent climb of Everest in 2022 with flashbacks over the past 20 years. This is her tenth climb. She is the only woman to climb Everest more than 6 times, according to Wikipedia. There are two women that have done it 6 times. The story is amazing. She seems to be a sound person with a lot of energy, a positive mental attitude, and two wonderful daughters. Her husband was an abusive man and she had to overcome that challenge as well. She really is a hero.This is an emotional film for many reasons. The music evokes feelings of sympathy and joy. I highly suggest you check it out, just to get an idea of how some seemingly unknown and unfortunate person can be so successful in life and overcome so many challenges.

Astonishing persistence

Lhakpa Sherpa Has climbed Mount Everest 10 times and holds the record for The number of times a woman has summitted Everest. The story is even more amazing because of her abusive husband, Romanian climber who found refuge in America and met her on one of the climbs.She narrates the film and takes one of her daughters with her back to Nepal where she does her 10th summit. It's enchanting to see her daughter meeting her cousins in Nepal and it's heartbreaking to see the daughter who stayed back in West Hartford, and who has gone through a tough time because of her abusive father.Watching her climb was frightening, but the entire film is very moving.
