Hoopes Vision on Top of the World: Congratulations to Hoopes Vision Patient Apa Sherpa on His 20th Ascent to the Top of Mount Everest

By Hoopesvision on June 15, 2010

Apa, nicknamed “Super Sherpa”, is a Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer who holds the record for reaching the summit of Mount Everest more times than any other person. On May 22 2010, Apa broke his own record as he reached the summit for the 20th time as part of the Eco Everest Expedition 2010. Apa and his family currently reside in Draper, Utah. He is dedicated to improving education and living conditions for the people of Nepal. We are happy for his success, and look forward to seeing him again soon.

We were honored by the fact that Apa took a Hoopes Vision banner with him to the summit for a picture. Here are some additional pictures taken on the record breaking ascent. You can read a detailed account of the trip on his blog at http://www.apasherpa.com/
