Synopsis: She’s the greatest Everest climber you’ve never heard of. MOUNTAIN QUEEN: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa tracks Lhakpa Sherpa’s storied mountaineering career against her record-breaking 10th summit to reveal a rich personal history – from her childhood as a girl denied an education in rural Nepal, to her experience as an immigrant in America and survivor of intimate partner violence, to her fight to live as a fearless example to her teenage daughters. Through it all, Lhakpa climbs – her incredible strength and resilience inspired by her own mother goddess of the universe – Chomolungma, Mt. Everest.
