A little over 4 years ago when we started EverestNews.com, we told you about two little know climbers outside of Nepal named Babu and Appa. While there are many strong Sherpa climbers, another have caught our attention. His name is Serap Jangbu Sherpa. Last summer Serap Jangbu Sherpa summited K2, then the main summit (the highest one) of Shishapangma in the fall of 2000. This spring he reached the Summit of Lhotse and is now headed back to K2 with Mr. Park for his second K2 Summit, if successful. He is a "free lancer". which means he is not working for a Sherpa Company.

Look for more on Serap Jangbu Sherpa soon on EverestNews.com. 

Update 7/22/2001: Serap Jangbu Sherpa become the second climber to have reached the Summit of K2 twice, and the only climber to have ever to have reached the Summit of K2 in back to back years.
