Completing the 7 summits in the world in 42 days is only one of the many incredible things that Ac Sherpa has accomplished.
I met Ac a few years ago when he was promoting International Sherpa guides at the NY Times travel show. Ac's humanitarian work and climbing the 7 summits is so incredible that I had to share his story with you!
Ac was born in a small village in Nepal where he, along with many others in his town struggled daily. Ac then immigrated to the U.S. and lived with his brother but left home at the age of 13.
Seeing the many struggles in Nepal, Ac decided to climb the 7 summits to raise awareness.
Today Ac continues to do humanitarian work with the 7summitsfoundation.org where he provides education, health care, and homes for the people of Nepal.
