Lhaka Sherpa, Königin der Berggipfel

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.

This is a documentary on Lhakpa Sherpa. At first glance, she is a lowly food worker in Hartford struggling to raise her kids as a single mom. It's 2022. She is returning to her Nepal to attempt her 10th Everest summit. She would be breaking her own record for the most Everest summit by a woman. She has brought one daughter while another daughter struggles to come to terms with the drunken abusive behavior of Lhakpa's ex-husband. This is an amazing life full of struggles and triumphs. The Everest views don't need me to sell them. I think I've heard about the Sherpa name although it is always shocking to be told again. I used to think that it's a job title.

Such an inspiring story . Very well directed and a sensitive portrayal of Lakhpa and her family. You get drawn in to the story from the get go. Here is a woman who is transported to an Alien land and the way she picks herself up is amazing! I loved the way her relationship with her two girls and the manner in which this has been portrayed.

The majestic Everest and the influence this mountain has on the Sherpas is well depicted.

I truly hope that this documentary will bring her fame and fortune that she so richly deserves.

At the end you tear up and hope that she continues to Climb and inspires many women to do so in her footsteps.

This is a beautiful, touching, very real story about a remarkably humble & determined woman. Her journey is often tough & calls for her to dig deep for the resources she needs for her & her family to survive; in doing so she discovers she thrives & conquers on those challenges. Her story is an inspiration for women of every circumstance, demonstrating that resourcefulness & sheer determination are necessary to transform one's existence. Lharkpa, you are amazing.🙏 The documentary itself, is excellently shot, in what must arguably be, the world's most beautiful location & is most sensitively allowed to unwind with her own personal narration. Inspirational story told excellently, job well done🙏

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.
