Nepali Sherpa Scales Mount Everest for a Record 32nd Time
The Nepali guide extended his own world record while leading clients, as Nepal issued 494 Everest permits this season.
- On Sunday, 56-year-old Nepali guide Kami Rita Sherpa reached Mount Everest's 8,849-metre summit for the 32nd time, breaking his own world record while leading clients from the 14 Peaks Expedition.
- Born in Thame village, Solukhumbu, Kami Rita first climbed the peak in 1994 and has repeated the feat almost every year since, occasionally reaching the summit twice in a single season.
- Among non-Sherpa climbers, British guide Kenton Cool holds the record at 19 ascents, followed by Americans Dave Hahn and Garrett Madison with 15; Sherpa woman Lakhpa achieved her 11th ascent, the most by a woman.
- Nepal's Department of Tourism hailed the climb as a 'historic milestone,' though the current March-May climbing season has seen three Nepali climbers die among those holding 492 issued permits.
- Since Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary's 1953 first ascent, more than 8,000 people have scaled Everest, with guiding foreign climbers providing crucial income for many Sherpas in Solukhumbu.
