A Sherpa from Nepal has conquered Mount Everest for the record-breaking 26th time! According to government officials, he broke his own record set the previous year.
According to reports, Kami Rita Sherpa, 52, led 10 other Sherpa climbers up the 8848.86 m summit via the classic southeast ridge route. According to Taranath Adhikari, Director General of the Tourism Department in Kathmandu, Kami Rita has shattered his own world record in climbing.
According to reports, he took the climbing route that was first established in 1953 by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepalese sherpa Tenzing Norgay and is still the most popular.
According to reports, Nepal has awarded 316 permits to climb Everest during the peak season, which runs from April to May. However, in 2019, the Himalayan nation, which relies on climbers for foreign cash, came under fire for tolerating overcrowding, which resulted in the deaths of several climbers.
Everest has been climbed 10657 times, according to reports, since it was first scaled in 1953 from the Nepali and Tibetan sides. While many people have climbed the mountain several times, 311 people have perished thus far.
Hundreds of climbers are anticipated to top the world's tallest mountain in the coming weeks from its southern approach.
In terms of breaking the record, Kami Rita clarified that, unlike certain people, he has not been doing this for the sake of breaking records. He went on to say that he followed in his father's footsteps and became a mountain guide, summiting Everest for the first time in 1994 and climbing it practically every year thereafter.
