When Dawa Yangzum Sherpa first set her sights on being a mountain guide, she was told it was no job for a girl.

達瓦.揚格札姆.雪巴初次將登山嚮導視為志向時,大家都告訴她這不是女孩子該做的工作。

Now the 27-year-old completed a rigorous course run by the Swiss-based International Federation of Mountain Guides, often described as a PhD in mountaineering, becoming Nepal’s first woman to earn an international qualification

27歲的她如今完成瑞士「國際高山嚮導協會」承辦,通常被形容為登山界博士學位的嚴苛課程,成為首位取得國際認證的尼泊爾女性。

Dawa belongs to the Himalayan ethnic group Sherpa, which has become synonymous with mountain guiding thanks to their reputation for being strong climbers with a natural tolerance for the lack of oxygen at high altitudes. But in Nepal - home to eight of the world’s highest mountains - climbing remains a man’s job.

達瓦是喜馬拉雅山雪巴族成員,該族群在氧氣稀薄的高山地區具有天生的適應力,以強健登山者聞名,已是高山嚮導的同義詞。但在世界排名前八大高山林立的尼泊爾,登山向來是男人的工作。

After racking up a number of summits of smaller mountains, in 2012 Dawa was selected to join an expedition organized by National Geographic to the world’s highest peak.

在累計許多較小型山脈的登頂經驗後,「國家地理頻道」2012年選中達瓦加入其籌組的全球最高峰遠征隊。

"Everest was my aim. I used to think that once I scale Everest it will be enough. But climbing is like an addiction. The more I climbed, the more I wanted to climb," she said.

她說:「艾佛勒斯峰是我的目標。我以前認為,一旦我征服艾佛勒斯峰,就會心滿意足。但登山會上癮。我爬得愈多,就愈想再爬。」
