Suunto and Apa Sherpa reach the top of<br />
the world<br />
Widely recognized as the world’s greatest living<br />
mountaineer, Suunto Ambassador Apa Sherpa has<br />
reached the top of the world a record 19 times<br />
and in the Spring of <strong>2010</strong> will seek to push that<br />
record to 20. Using his Suunto to make the summit,<br />
Apa has lead teams up Mt. Everest with amazing<br />
success, both in reaching the top and keeping<br />
people safe. Now, Apa Sherpa is embarking on a<br />
new endeavor and once again Suunto will be there<br />
to help the cause.<br />
In the summer of <strong>2010</strong>, Apa is returning to his<br />
home village of Thame to improve education and<br />
economic opportunities for the children living<br />
in the remote village near the Base Camp of Mt.<br />
Everest. Suunto will provide support with logistics,<br />
transport and materials for the library and assist the<br />
Apa Sherpa Foundation as they construct shelves,<br />
catalog books and set up a lending system for the<br />
library.<br />
Despite his climbing success, Apa says he would<br />
have planned his life differently. He would give up<br />
his climbing records for a good education and a<br />
career as a medical doctor. Suunto recognizes and<br />
admires Apa Sherpa’s cause and work. By working<br />
together, Suunto and the Apa Sherpa Foundation<br />
strive to provide a solid education for all the<br />
children of Thame.
