World Record Breaking Mountaineer Lhakpa Sherpa and Filmmaker Lucy Walker
Manage episode 431619600 series 2533283
Lhakpa Sherpa broke a record: she was the first Nepali woman to climb and descend Everest. Then she broke another: summiting for the tenth time, she had now summited the tallest peak in the world more times than any other woman. But the gruelling ascent mirrored her own journey through life: from braving her way and disguising herself as a man to become a sherpa, to finding the courage to leave a violent marriage to give her daughters a better life, Lhakpa has shown that there is no summit she cannot overcome.
In conversation with filmmaker Lucy Walker whose film Mountain Queen follows Lhakpa’s record-breaking tenth summit and illuminates her extraordinary life, Lhakpa shares her inspiring story and her lifelong dream of empowering women.
