LATE PEMBA DOMA SHERPA (Director): Although Pemba is no more with us today, she was the founder director of Climb High and the first Nepali woman to conquer Everest from the north side and one of only six women, who had scaled the mountain twice as part of the 2002 Nepalese women Expedition (South Face). Raised by her grandparents after losing her mother at the age of two, Pemba Doma was educated at the Khumjung School, one of 26 schools that Sir Edmund Hillary has established in the Solu Khumbu region since 1961. Pemba spoke nine languages and travelled around the world raising money for her non profit foundation, Save the Himalayan Kingdom, which educates Nepalese children, regardless of caste.
