Teaching is more than sharing knowledge—it is about empowering people with the confidence to take on challenges safely and responsibly.
•
Over the past two days, I had the privilege of conducting a Rock Climbing Familiarization Training for 12 inspiring participants and 2 staff members from the Female Leadership Academy.
•
The training included both:
🧗 Indoor Wall Climbing in Gateway Adventure Hub
🧗 Outdoor Rock Climbing at Hattiban, Dollu
•
Watching each participant challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zone, and support one another throughout the course was incredibly rewarding.
As someone who has spent years in the mountains, I firmly believe that teaching is my passion. My greatest motivation is to make climbing and outdoor education accessible to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity—especially women, underrepresented communities, and aspiring adventurers.
•
While two days can only serve as a familiarization course in a sport where safety, judgment, and continuous practice are essential, I hope this experience has inspired the participants to continue learning with responsibility and respect for the mountains.
•
I understand that many of them are preparing for Lobuche Peak in the near future. I sincerely wish each of them a safe and successful expedition. More importantly, I encourage them to always follow the guidance of their expedition leaders, respect safety protocols, and remember that coming home safely is always the greatest achievement.
•
My door will always remain open if they ever need advice, guidance, or technical support in their climbing journey.
•
A heartfelt thank you to the Female Leadership Academy for trusting me for this meaningful opportunity. It was an honor to contribute, even in a small way, to developing confident future leaders through adventure.
•
I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to my co-instructor and dear friend, Kami Temba Sherpa, an IFMGA Mountain Guide and instructor at the Khumbu Climbing Center (KCC). It was a privilege to teach alongside such a highly skilled, humble, and dedicated professional. His wealth of technical expertise, calm approach, and unwavering commitment to safety greatly enriched the training experience for all participants. Thank you, Kami Temba, for your friendship, teamwork, and passion for developing the next generation of safe and responsible climbers.

Here's to empowering more people through education, safety, and the mountains. 🏔️
