Nepalese Sherpa Kami Rita Sherpa has reached the top of Everest for the 27th time, breaking the world record for total summits of the world’s tallest mountain.
A Nepali Sherpa has reached the top of Everest for the 27th time, breaking the world record for total number of summits of the world’s tallest, and one of its deadliest, mountains. Kami Rita Sherpa, a 53, completed his latest ascent early on May 17, Nepal Department of Tourism official Bigyan Koirala told CNN. Kami — most Sherpas go by their first names — is a senior guide at Kathmandu expedition company Seven Summit Treks. He began his career in mountaineering in 1992.
” Kami was already a record holder after achieving a world-beating 26th climb of Everest last year. Just this week, a fellow Nepali, 46-year-old Pasang Dawa Sherpa, tied Kami’s achievement with a 26th climb. Their tie lasted two days before Kami summited again to break the record. May is the peak season for climbing Everest, which is known as Sagarmatha in Nepali.
