- Year / Achievement: 2025 / First Ascent
Mr. Lakpa Chhiri Sherpa was a member of the successful expedition team that achieved the historic first ascent of Mt. Sharphu IV in 2025.
The expedition involved challenging Himalayan terrain and required strong technical climbing ability, route-finding, teamwork, and careful management of high-altitude conditions.
The successful first ascent added a significant new chapter to Nepal's Himalayan mountaineering history and demonstrated the capability of the expedition team to explore and climb previously unclimbed mountain terrain.
B. MT. PATHIBHARA–HISTORIC FIRST ASCENT

Within approximately five months of the Sharphu IV first ascent, Mr. Lakpa Chhiri Sherpa again participated in a historic Himalayan climbing achievement—the first ascent of Mt. Pathibhara in 2025.
The Pathibhara expedition involved demanding technical mountain terrain and required advanced climbing skills, route-finding, physical endurance, teamwork, and effective expedition management in a remote Himalayan environment.
The successful ascent established another important milestone in Nepal's mountaineering history and further strengthened Mr. Lakpa Chhiri Sherpa's record as an experienced high-altitude Himalayan climber.
TWO HISTORIC FIRST ASCENTS IN ONE YEAR
2025–A Landmark Year
Mr. Lakpa Chhiri Sherpa's 2025 climbing season represents a particularly notable achievement in his mountaineering career. Within approximately five months, he successfully contributed to two separate historic first-ascent expeditions:
