Seven Summits

Babu Chiri Sherpa is considered one of the greatest Everest climbers ever. With ten Everest Summits (including 4 North Side summits) to date, many consider Babu Chiri Sherpa the strongest climber on Everest today.

Babu Chiri Sherpa, has a dream, not to Summit Everest in 16 hours, or to sleep the night on the Summit. He has done both. His dream is to build a school for his six daughters in his small village in Nepal. You see Babu "never saw the door of a school". He has learned to read, but from his own studies. He wants a better life for his daughters than frankly having them carry someone else's gear up Everest.

He wants his daughters to get the education that he has never received. Babu is looking for funds to help build his school. Babu now 34, only has a few years of Everest climbing left. He started as a porter when he was 13. His first Summit was not Everest but Kanchenjunga in Autumn 1989 at 23. 

His Summits and records are not in dispute. Can you help him live his dream for his daughters? He is looking for $11,000 dollars. The village I live in Ohio wants $3-4 million for an addition to its school and will probably get in the next board election.

Everest has been life to Babu. He respects Everest. Babu also respects those western climbers who pay for his services. But he wants a better life for his daughters. Let's help to give it to them !

In Spring 1999: Babu spent over 21 hours on the Summit of Everest. In spring of 2000, he set the speed record for climbing Everest on the South Side. 

Babu Chiri Sherpa is the chairman of Nomad Expeditions.
