By combining an inside look at the origins of Himalayan mountaineering with the story of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute 28-day women’s course, “Sherpa- The Proving Grounds” utilizes climbing legends such as Jim Whittaker and Nawang Gombu Sherpa to tell an unconventional story. Already regarded as controversial in many climbing circles, this film compels viewers to look at the term Mountaineering closely. Weaved within the trials and tribulations of the Sherpa tribe are the struggles and successes of the women, many of them Sherpa, as they undertake the demanding training program. Some are there simply to test their physical and mental capabilities while others strive to become the backbone of modern-day high-altitude expeditions. For whatever reasons, they all will find their own personal Summit.
