Sherpa Kami Rita. This Nepali seems to be writing an uninterrupted chapter of mountaineering every year. He first conquered Everest in 1994. Kami Rita is a living inspiration to those who consider mountaineering not just a sport but a philosophy of life.
Legendary Sherpa Kami Rita has broken her own record once again. The 55-year-old Nepalese mountaineer has climbed Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, 31 times.
Sherpa Kami Rita, a guide for an Indian army team, reached the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit of Mount Everest at around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, marking a unique achievement in the history of Everest climbers.
Kami Rita was born in Thami village of Solukhumbu district, Nepal. She grew up in the lap of the Himalayas. Since childhood, her family worked as Sherpa guides. And she also followed her father's footsteps and became a professional Sherpa. In her long mountaineering career, she has successfully climbed not only Everest, but also other highest mountains in the world such as Cho Yu, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, etc. In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary first climbed Everest via this route.
"Sherpa Kami Rita needs no introduction. She is not only a hero of Nepalese mountaineering, but also a global symbol of Everest," Seven Summit Treks, the Everest expedition organizer, said in a statement.
According to the Kathmandu Post, Sherpa Kami Rita was leading a team of the Indian Army's Adventure Wing Everest expedition led by Lieutenant Colonel Manoj Joshi.
On the other hand, Mingma Sherpa, chairman of Seven Summit Treks, said that this new feat will further solidify Sherpa Kami Rita's status as the record holder for the highest number of mountain climbs in the world - a record that no one else has come close to achieving.
He said, "Kami Rita is safe and stable after her summit. She is now returning to base camp. As always, Kami has demonstrated her unparalleled skill and professionalism on the mountain. We are extremely proud of her achievement."
