According to Sherpa, Appa and his team member of the Super Sherpa expedition Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa shot a video for a documentary and took some pictures on the top of the world.

The footages of the climb will be made into a charity documentary, the money raised from which will go towards providing better education and health care for children in the Sherpa community in the mountainous regions.
