Mingma Gyalje Sherpa<\/a>\u00a0founder of Dreamers Destination continues his impressive 2017 with yet another summit of an 8000 meter mountain, Broad Peak. Icelander\u00a0John Snorri Sigurj\u00f3nsson<\/a>\u00a0also summited BP adding to his two 8000ers this year – K2 and Lhotse.<\/p>\n

British-American Vanessa O’Brien <\/a>who summited K2 with Mingma was not with them but apparently, as reported by Mingma,\u00a0Fredrik Str\u00e4ng<\/a> went along to nab Broad Peak thus not wasting his trip to the Karakorum after not being able to summit K2.<\/p>\n

Mingma posted on Facebook<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Finished my 11x8000m peak. Broad peak is my 10th 8000m without oxygen. All safely arrived back to camp3. Congratulation to all my team member. John Snorri became first Icelandic, Ali Reza made twice(on 27july and 4aug), Dawa Gyalje Sherpa, Tsering pemba sherpa completed 11x8000m, Mingma nuru sherpa, Ngima norbu sherpa( both k2 and broad peak without oxygen)
\nLiu yong zhong completed 11x8000m and Dong hongjuan completed her 10th 8000m.<\/p>\n

Fedrick from Sweden also made it but he is not part of our expedition. Summit videos will be posted tomorrow. Thanks for following us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the 31 year-old Mingma’s fourth 8000er summit in 2017: Dhaulagiri<\/a> on 30 April, Makalu<\/a> on 14 May, K2<\/a> on 29 July and Broad Peak <\/a>on 5 August. He came very close on Nanga Parbat<\/a> but said he believes he mistakenly stood on a sub summit and will have to go back. He has summited 11 of the 14 8000 meter mountains.<\/p>\n

Sherpa Success on 8000ers<\/h3>\n

The world’s highest peaks used to be the domain of climbers from Italy, Spain, and the like but in recent years, Sherpas from the Makalu and Rolwaling have taken on the big peaks and are knocking them off in quick fashion.<\/p>\n
