A job that is devoted to guiding others in the pursuit of danger and adventure in the mountains requires a level of skill found in only the most experienced of international mountaineers. However, the Seven Summits are about to be conquered once again, but this time by a sherpa who grew up listening to songs about Tenzing Sherpa and has been writing about mountaineering in the Himalayas as a profession.
Ang Chhiring has completed 6 of the Summits, climbing the highest on each continent leaving Everest, in the Himalayas, till last. Born in Nepal, he moved to America to study and returned home some years later to help the community by raising money on his epic adventure. He is on-line for a record breaking time for all 7 summits, without oxygen. Gaining a lot of press attention has ensured the charity work he is also undertaking should get some great publicity.
Good luck A.C. Sherpa.
