Mountain Queen: la scalata di Lhakpa Sherpa

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.

I really enjoyed this documentary because it gave an experience from a native Sherpa point of view. Not only that but aI really enjoyed this documentary because it gave an experience from a native Sherpa point of view. Not only that but a native Sherpa woman! Her goals, her accomplishments in the face of extreme prejudice and adversity is a true testament to the strength and amazing gift of the Sherpa. I've always been amazed when watching documents on Everest of the endurance and loyalty of the Sherpa. This documentary helped me to understand the mindset and drive of this amazing people. A must see for Everest fans.

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 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.

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.
