The late Angrita Sherpa has always had a niche amongst the Nepalese Mountaineering community. Having successfully climbed the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, 10 times without the use of any oxygen supplies, Angrita was given the name ‘Snow Leopard’ for his feats and natural ability in such harsh conditions.
Along with Angrita, his three sons also grew up to become successful mountaineers in their own right, the eldest having passed away after summiting Everest 9 times, while the other two hanging their boots up after reaching the summit multiple times as well.
