WBIR-TV - Knoxville,TN,USA
They’re two men who’ve reached great heights in their lives. Lahpka Gelu Sherpa and Apa Sherpa have both set mountaineering records that have left many outdoor enthusiasts breathless.
On May 22, 2008, Apa Sherpa broke his own world climbing record by reaching the top of Mt. Everest for an amazing 18th time. Apa, who was born in Nepal and now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, works to spread humanity and educating the American Culture on the Napalese culture.
Lahpka Gelu Sherpa gained fame when he broke the record for the fastest ascent to the summit of Mt. Everest. He made the climb in 10 hours, 56 minutes (and 46 seconds)! He also lives in Salt Lake City.
The two men tour together as the Super Sherpas. They will appear at a special event hosted by Smoky Mountain Outfitters. It’s June 7 from 10am to 6pm at Winery Square on Highway 321 in Gatlinburg. For more information call (865) 430-2267.
