Mingmar Sherpa is a Nepalese mountaineer, mountain guide and television journalist. He has summited Mount Everest 4 times and was the first person to climb Mt. Naipaigusum in 2006 on the occasion of the 50th year diplomatic relation between Nepal and Japan. Mingmar has worked with the IMAX Everest expedition team where he guided Michael Palin for a BBC documentary and worked with David Breashears on the film “Storm Over Everest” which recounted the dramatic events of the tragic 1996 climbing season. He is also the team leader for “Saving Mount Everest 2011″, which is a Mount Everest cleaning expedition. Mingmar will present dramatic photographs of trekking and mountaineering from the Everest region and present a short video on the 2011 Everest Cleaning campaign.
