Kami Rita Sherpa, a renowned 55-year-old climber from Nepal, achieved his 31st summit of Mount Everest, breaking his own record for the most ascents. Leading an expedition for the Indian Army, Kami has been a prominent figure in Everest climbing since his first ascent in 1994, making an ascent nearly every year. Organizers lauded him as a global symbol of Everest and a national hero. Despite his accomplishments, he views his climbs as a way to enhance Nepal's recognition globally, demonstrating humility alongside his prowess in mountaineering.
"I am glad for the record, but records are eventually broken. I am more happy that my climbs help Nepal be recognized in the world."
"Massive congratulations to the legendary Kami Rita Sherpa on his 31st successful ascent of Everest - the highest number of ascents by anyone in history."
