Gelje Sherpa: Nepal’s young mountaineer is looking for help to create history

The past few weeks have been hectic for Gelje Sherpa . Ever since he announced that he will be spending his winter, attempting to climb the sixth highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyu from the Nepal side, he has been running around, trying to manage funds for the project. But, help has not been coming and that is making him anxious every day.

“I’ve got a team full of experienced mountaineers, but if I don’t have the funds, it’s going to be hard,” says the 29-year-old.
