SuperSherpas: The Interview
February 25, 2007
In my previous post I mentioned that I had been in contact with the SuperSherpa Basecamp. Well, I am very excited to announce at this time that Apa and Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa have granted The Adventurist an interview by way of email and “The Token White Guy” Roger at SuperSherpa basecamp!
Ladies and Gentlemen these two men have 27 Everest Summits between them! Lhakpa Gelu has held the World’s Fastest Ascent of Everest in HISTORY–the list goes on and on about the accomplishments of these two Greats–They are perhaps the greatest Everest climbers in history–as well as two of the least known. That is all about to change…
They are on a mission to gain the respect and noteriety that the whole Sherpa community deserves…they have been stepped over and around when it comes to World Class Climbing–they have garnered the weight of being in the shadows–making some of the greatest climbers who they are today–without the World giving them what they truly deserve. CREDIT!
It isn’t about Apa and Lhakpa Gelu…it is about their community..their people, and their way of life. That is the whole essence of SuperSherpa–and the quest for the summit in 2007.
This marks the first time that I have been granted an interview not only from an Everest Expedition but also from a previous summiter of this great mountain.
As an added bonus to this Interview, I will also be covering the SuperSherpa Expedition to the Summit –from beginning to end…I am hoping all of you will stay tuned to this historic expedition.
