She's the greatest Everest climber you’ve never heard of. MOUNTAIN QUEEN: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa tracks Lhakpa Sherpa's storied mountaineering career against her record-breaking 10th summit to reveal a rich personal history – from her childhood as a girl denied an education in rural Nepal, to her experience as an immigrant in America and survivor of intimate partner violence, to her fight to live as a fearless example to her teenage daughters. Through it all, Lhakpa climbs - her incredible strength and resilience inspired by her own mother goddess of the universe - Chomolungma, Mt. Everest.
Everest is my game.
That is my dream.
Washing dishes to support her two daughters, Sherpa is the picture of humility.
I cannot write. I've never been educated.
My life hurts me. The Everest picks up my soul.
Like magic.
My mom summited Everest nine times.
She is in a league of her own.
She really wants this to be the summit where everything starts getting better for our lives.
It's a very danger, but I no give up.
People say, Ola, why you so humble? I'm not so humble. It was really hard to get out this mountain. Really?
Me, I feel nothing out here. I'm a very brave.
How many tanks of oxygen does she have? Maybe 14 of it.
I've asked my mom to tell me stories about my dad, but she wouldn't want to go there.
Lhakpa was the queen of the Sherpa and George was this underground legend.
I see this perfect mountain man turn very angry person. George, my Yeri, my master.
I want to change my life for my children.
I go carry my power back. Only summit day I will show them women cannot give up.
Ten summits, I worked so hard.
I want to do something good.
I see you. I see someone that can be something.
