00:04 I'm trying to think of a time when a woman goes

00:07 after her dreams and her character is not questioned,

00:10 when her motivation is not questioned.

00:14 I had heard about a dream and her challenge

00:17 of being the first Nepalese woman to climb Everest.

00:19 It's hard to imagine how many barriers she had to overcome.

00:26 She was an ethnic minority.

00:27 She was a woman.

00:28 I'm sure she was rightfully outraged for not being allowed

00:31 to go to the top of Everest.

00:32 So it is natural for her to show the rest of the world,

00:35 say, listen, I can do this myself.

00:37 And in a male-dominated society, she

00:39 spoke to the hearts of many women

00:41 at the time who had no courage to do what she was doing.

00:44 Instead of just sitting and being patronized,

00:53 she's actually talking back and letting the prime minister

00:56 know what she thinks.

01:00 I don't think Passang was very involved politically

01:03 before that.

01:04 But after 1990, everything that anyone did in Nepal

01:08 had to be thought about in political terms.

01:10 Climbing Everest is a physical and mental marathon.

01:26 As a Sherpa, that's how we live, working as a guide.

01:30 Passang Lamu spoke of herself as representing

01:33 the Sherpa community, but also representing Nepali women.

01:38 That must have turned some people's world upside down.

01:43 I think my mom was so ahead of her time.

01:46 The day she went for a summit, all of a sudden,

01:52 the weather was changed.
