Lhakpa Sherpa: Des sommets de bravoure

I loved this documentary, even though it was completely opposite of what I expected it to be.

I've been following Lhakpa's professional life before this documentary, but I didn't know the hardships she's been through. I cried so much and I am so happy to see the reward for all she has accomplished.

She is a lovely mother, fighter, smart and interesting story-teller. If I were to climb high mountains, I would definitely love to have her as my guide, and enjoy hearing amazing stories and life's simple truths told in an interesting way.

She is lucky to have such a lovely and beautiful daughters. I hope life gives them peace and health. They already have great support.

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🙏

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.

This incredible woman, Lhakpa Sherpa, who has summited Mount Everest an astounding 10 times, has inspired many people with her kindness and grace in the face of countless obstacles, and with her strength and determination to create a better life for her children and herself. Her dream from an early age was to climb to the top of Everest to "see what's on the other side", and in spite of no education and no money, she persevered until she not only became the first woman to summit Mt. Everest and survive, but then broke her own record an incredible 9 more times. As if that weren't enough, she also summited K2! This documentary was very well done, with amazing videos of her climbs, as well as home videos of her children as they grew up. Beautiful, touching documentary.

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.
