Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa

Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa

Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa has climbed Everest (13 summits), Cho Oyu (3 summits), Ama Dablam (2 summits). Lhakpa Gelu grew up in the Solo Khumbu region close to Mt. Everest, but now resides in Salt Lake City. He held the speed record on Mt. Everest when in 2003 he climbed from Base Camp to the summit in less than 11 hours. Climbing with Lhakpa Gelu is truly an honor, he is shy and reserved, yet possesses an uncanny ability to instill a sense of comfort and confidence of those who climb with him.
