Lhakpa Sherpa (born 1973) is a Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer who has climbed Mount Everest 11 times, the most by any woman in the world. Her record-breaking tenth climb was on 12 May 2022 and was financed through a crowd-funding campaign. In 2000 she became the first Nepali woman to climb and descend Everest successfully, and in 2016 she was listed as one of the BBC's 100 Women. She was born in a cave, one of 11 children, and grew up in Balakharka, a village in the Makalu region of the Himalayas in Nepal, where only boys were allowed to go to school.
