Ming Kipa

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ming Kipa is Nepalese Sherpa girl. She is the youngest person to climb to the top of Mount Everest. She reached the top on May 24, 2003 when she was 15 years old, with her brother Mingma Gyula and her sister to help her in this expedition. Nepal law does not allow climbers under 16 from climbing Everest, so Ming Kipa Sherpa summitted Everest from the Tibetan side. Ming is in the Guinnes World Records Book for completing the extraordinary challenge.
