In this photo taken Saturday, March 30, 2019, Furdiki Sherpa, 43, performs morning exercises as she trains to summit Mount Everest, in Kathmandu, Nepal. Five years after one of the deadliest disasters on Mount Everest, three people from Nepal's ethnic Sherpa community, including Sherpa, are preparing an ascent to raise awareness about the Nepalese mountain guides who make it possible for hundreds of foreign climbers to scale the mountain and survive. Sherpa lost her husband in the 2014 ice avalanche on Everest’s western shoulder that killed 16 fellow Sherpa guides. (Photo by Niranjan Shrestha/AP Photo)
