What’s the best thing about your Suunto?
Suunto is my favorite watch. It has performed very well in all conditions. I put it through the roughest testing a person can do.

What are your goals?
To give my children a college education. They will be the first in the history of my family to have a college degree. Next is to continue developing my foundation to help the children in my village of Thame, Thomu and the remote villages of Nepal receive an education. To follow in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary. He did a lot to help my country.

Something nobody knows about you: 
My given name is Lhakpa Tenzing Sherpa. My Mother and father named me Apa because they loved me very much. I had 8 siblings and I was the one chosen to go to school. There is no other Apa Sherpa’s.
