00:00Everest is my game.

00:07That is my dream.

00:11Washing dishes to support her two daughters, Sherpa is the picture of humility.

00:16I cannot write.

00:17I've never been educated.

00:19My life hurts me.

00:21Everest picks up my soul like magic.

00:28I've been Mount Sumit at Everest nine times.

00:31She is in a league of her own.

00:34She really wants this to be a summit where everything starts getting better for our lives.

00:39It's very dangerous, but I don't give up.

00:43People say, Ola, why are you so humble?

00:45I'm not so humble.

00:46It was really hard to get out of this mountain.

00:49Really?

00:50Me, I feel nothing.

00:51I'm very brave.

00:54How many tanks of oxygen does she have?

01:00Maybe forty-nine.

01:01I've asked my mom to tell me stories about my dad, but she wouldn't want to go there.

01:10Lhakpa was the queen of the Sherpa, and George was this underground legend.

01:15I see this perfect mountain man turned very angry person.

01:19George is my hero, my master.

01:23I want to change my life for my children.

01:26I go carry my power back.
