              Record Holding Climbers “Nima Rinji Sherpa” And “Dawa Yangzum Sherpa” Return To Heroic Welcome In Nepal

              Dawa Yangzum Sherpa, who claims to be the first Nepali woman to have summited all 14 of the world's peaks towering over 8000 meters, arrives at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 14, 2024. Her last triumph is Tibet's Shishapangma, which she summited last week, completing her journey and setting a record in mountaineering history. Dawa, also the first female Asian mountain guide certified by the International Federation of Mountain Guides (IFMGA), sets her sights on all 14 of the world's highest mountains. She stands atop the summit of Shishapangma on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at 5:30 am, Nepal time. Dawa is involved in advocating for women in the mountaineering field, which is predominantly male-dominated, and in raising awareness about the impact of climate change on Nepal's fragile ecosystems. Through her affiliations with renowned global brands like The North Face and Rolex, Dawa uses her platform to amplify these causes. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
