The Climb Behind the Can

David Breashears, Everest pioneer and filmmaker

For years, Mingmar Dorji Sherpa worked side by side with Everest pioneer and acclaimed filmmaker David Breashears.

Sherpa Fizz was founded by Mingmar Dorji Sherpa, a four-time Everest summiter and immigrant who rebuilt his life in the U.S.; his daughter, Chhiring Sherpa, a rising student-athlete and voice for the next generation; and his son, Lakpa Sherpa, an engineer and builder.

Together, they're building more than a soda – they're building a platform for underdogs to rise. From Himalayan summits to dedicated craftsmanship, Sherpa Fizz is a tribute to the Sherpa legacy.

Mingmar's journey is one of incredible perseverance: a legendary Nepalese mountaineer who climbed alongside icons, led historic cleanup expeditions, and then started over in the US, working as a dishwasher, cook, and now a plumber. Sherpa Fizz is for those who climb their own mountains—physical or personal—with quiet strength.
