Plot summary
As a girl in Nepal, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa never enters a classroom. She goes against the grain of her culture and takes up mountaineering, and in Kathmandu she founds a trekking company of her own. In the early 1990s she sets her sights on Everest and attempts the summit four times, facing the cultural barriers that stand before Nepali women who climb. Her efforts open the way for other Nepali women.
