Margarita Newman - DesPlaines, Illinois
I am thrilled that sherpa women are choosing to risk their lives to accomplish what their men have been doing for ages. It is exciting to know that one of them, Lhakpa Sherpa has made history by reaching the summit of Mt. Everest three times. Hurrah for her.

Esteban Bortiri - San Francisco, California
I loved the sherpa women in North Face clothing, what a beauty!!!
