Four sisters from Rolwaling Valley, Chhiri Aangjum Sherpa, Jangmu Sherpa, Tshering Namgya Sherpa, and Dawa Futi Sherpa, successfully summited Carstensz Pyramid (4,884m), the highest peak in Oceania, on their quest to climb all Seven Summits. They are daughters of Rinzin Doma Sherpa and the late Dorjee Sherpa, a renowned climber and guide. With this achievement, the sisters have now conquered five of the Seven Summits, leaving only Mt. Denali in North America and Mt. Vinson in Antarctica to complete their remarkable journey, according to Mingma G, Managing Director of Imagine Nepal Treks.
The sisters had previously summited Mt. Aconcagua in February 2025. Nima Jangmu Sherpa, Tshering Namgyal Sherpa, and Dawa Futi Sherpa have also climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro (Dec 2022), Mt. Elbrus (Nov 2022), and Mt. Everest (May 2021), setting a record as the most sisters to summit Everest together. Chhiri Aangjum, the eldest, will join her younger sisters to complete Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, and Everest in the coming months in the Carstensz.
Their father, Dorjee Sherpa, was a legendary guide who lost eight fingers to frostbite during a 1983 Everest winter expedition but never gave up his passion for climbing. His daughters now honor his memory by summiting the highest peaks across the world. The sisters plan to finish their quest with Mt. Denali in June and Vinson Massif in December, making history as the first sisters from the same family to conquer all Seven Summits.
