Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Sherpa climbs Everest twice in a week,
setting record 24 ascents
Sherpa people, more known as skilled mountain
climbers who are employed to help visiting climbers, are ethnic groups native
to the mountainous regions of Nepal and the Himalayas. They practice ancient
Buddhism, and also believe in gods, goddesses, and demons who inhabit every mountain,
cave, and forest. For Sherpa people, many of the Himalayan mountains, including Mount
Everest, are considered sacred. So, besides guiding mountain climbers, fix ropes,
and carry supplies and oxygen to help mountain climbers realize their dreams safely,
Sherpas also worship the goddess of the mountain to ask her forgiveness to step
on her sacred body. And indeed, it is very important for a 49-year-old Sherpa who
climbed Everest twice a week, his 23rd on May 15 and 24th
on May 21st, breaking the world’s record. He thinks he’s still in good
shape and has no plan to retire soon. Health, experience, and devotion are all
needed to ensure safety and successful mountain climbing.
Enjoy reading the article to learn about this
exceptional Sherpa.
