text:  Today we meet the incredible mountaineer Lakpa Sherpa. Born and raised in Nepal in a village perched 13,000 feet high, she and Mount Everest, or Sagamatha as it's known in Nepali, have always been the closest of friends. Lakpa was one of 11 children and her parents were yak farmers. When she was small, she would gaze at the world's highest peak in wonder. As she grew older, she had only one ambition, to one day reach the top.
