Apa Sherpa said goodbye to his wife, Yangzin, at the Salt Lake International Airport on Wednesday. Before departing, Apa told the Deseret Morning News that he's excited about co-leading the Super Sherpa expedition. However, it's always difficult to leave his family behind for the roughly two months required for an Everest expedition.
"It is hard for me and all the family to be far away ... I worry for them ... We worry for each other."
