According to the Guinness World Records, one of the sisters, Dawa Futi Sherpa said, “Our grandfather and father were climbers. We want to dedicate our Mount Everest summit to our late father, Dorjee Sherpa, who used to be a climbing Sherpa and guide.” Similarly, the sisters added that their brother, Mingma Gyaljie Sherpa has climbed Mt Everest six times and helped them prepare for their attempt.
Mt Everest was the first peak of their project and their next destination is said to be Russia’s Mount Elbrus.
