Nima Rinji Sherpa, 18, climbed each peak with his climbing partner, Pasang Nurbu Sherpa.

Standing atop Mount Shishapangma on Wednesday morning, though, another life ambition was front of mind for the 18-year-old: to subvert the stereotype of Sherpas as mere helpers who assist foreign climbers on their ascents.

Although the word ‘Sherpa’ is commonly used to describe someone who is a mountain guide or porter working in the Everest area, it is in fact the name of an ethnic group of people who live in the mountains of Nepal.

This is the uplifting part here for me 👍

“Under the law, any man who marries a girl under the age of 18 could face at least 15 years in prison and a fine of around $4,000. Parents or those attending such marriage ceremonies could also face fines”

Good news. Remove the coulds and I’m really convinced. I hope they enforce those laws as strict as they can.

It depends, but usually it’s a small bottle of 0,33L. If I open a bigger one, I often don’t finish it.

Drinking in company is of course something totally different.

Both sites seem to be down by now

Thanks 🙏 !

Can I change this in settings?

I’d like to hear their story!

Might be “her” ☝️
