Lopsang Jangbu Sherpa (ca. 1971-73〔. Sources give this birthdate; however, Lopsang published a letter to Outside Magazine only weeks before his death in which he asserted that he was then 23 years old: (【引用サイトリンク】title=What Really Happened In The Thin Air )〕 – 25 September 1996) was a Nepalese Sherpa mountaineering guide, climber and porter, best known for his work as the climbing Sirdar for Scott Fischer's Mountain Madness expedition to Everest in Spring 1996, when a freak storm led to the deaths of eight climbers from several expeditions, considered one of the worst disasters in the history of Everest mountaineering. Notwithstanding controversy over his actions during that expedition, Lopsang was well-regarded in the mountaineering community, having summited Everest four times. Lopsang was killed in an avalanche in September 1996, while again on an expedition to climb Everest for what would have been a fifth ascent. == Mountaineering achievements == Beyond his work in the course of the ill-fated Spring 1996 Everest expedition, Lopsang was a respected porter and guide with extensive Himalayan mountaineering experience, including:〔 〕 :Summit, Mount Everest with Nepali Women's expedition, Spring 1993 :Summit, Cho Oyu with Japanese expedition, Fall 1993 :Camp 4, Mount Everest, Japanese expedition, Winter 1993 :Summit, Mount Everest, Sagarmatha Environmental expedition, Spring 1994 :Summit, Mount Everest, New Zealand expedition, Spring 1995, led by Rob Hall :Summit, Broad Peak, Scott Fischer party, Summer 1995 :Summit, Mount Everest, Scott Fischer party, Spring 1996 (3 hours on the summit) Lopsang reached the summit of Everest four times in four years, all without supplementary oxygen.〔 During his career, Lopsang had worked as a climber and guide for both Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, two expedition leaders who ultimately died on Everest in the course of the 10 May 1996 tragedy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lopsang Jangbu Sherpa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
