This Sherpa Twice Breaks The Record For The Most Climbers To Reach The Summit Of Everest In A Week
JAKARTA - Conquering the world's highest peak Mount Everest is certainly a proud achievement and not random. However, what if it was able to break the record twice as the top climber of the world in a period of a week?
That's what happened to us Rita, herrpa or senior guide to climbers of Mount Everest who worked at Seven Summit Treks.
This 53-year-old veteran climber from Nepal broke his own record, to record himself as the top climber of Everest. He was at the top of the world (848.86 m) from sea level (masl) at around 9:20 am on May 23, as reported by the Times of India July 13.
"We Rita Sherpa, 53, reached the top via traditional southeast mountain routes," Nepalese tourism official Bigyan Koirala said.
This is the second climb of the Sherpa this spring, after on May 17 he broke the record 27 times beating Everest. The expedition was organized by Chhang Dawa Sherpa, Seven Summit Trek's Expedition Manager.
Dipeloporized by the first mountaineer, Sirten Hillary of New Zealand and Sherpa Tengg Norgay in 1953, the traditional route traveled by Kami Rita remains the most popular route to the highest peak in the world.
Kami Rita, who is a resident of Solukhambu District, East Nepal, has a desire to climb since she was young. He started climbing the roof of the world on May 13, 1994.
Since his first climb, he has regularly climbed Everest almost every year, except for three years when authorities closed the mountain for various reasons. The father was one of the first generation of herpa on Everest.
In addition to climbing Everest, this guide has also climbed Mount K2, Mount Lhotse, Gunung Manaslu, and Mount Cho Oyu. All the peaks of this mountain are at an altitude of 8000 m above sea level.
Interestingly, Kami rita's latest climb was carried out the day after fellow climbing guides, Pasang Dewa, were able to match his record 27 trips to the top of the world, citing NBC News from AP.
