About this listen
In 2023 we had the joy of welcoming Mingma Gyalje Sherpa to Banff to join us for our Voices of Adventure series. Mingma G began climbing at the age of 20 and has become a prominent member of the international climbing community. His list of accomplishments is long and impressive—six summits of Everest, four summits of Manaslu, as well as summits on Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, Lhotse, Dhaulagiri, Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum I & II, Broad Peak, a solo ascent and new route on Mt. Chobuje. One of his biggest achievements was being one of the team leaders on the first-ever Winter ascent of K2. In conversation with local Bow Valley host Geoff Powter, Mingma G talks about his K2 ascent and cleaning up garbage left on Everest with his three sisters. Since this recording in 2023, Mingma G has become the first Nepali to climb all fourteen 8000’ers without supplemental oxygen.
