Sherpa people

An 18-year-old climber from Nepal has become the youngest person to climb all 14 of the highest peaks on Earth.

He is Nima Rinji Sherpa, who set the record after also reaching the summit of Tibet’s Sisapangma mountain on Wednesday, October 9, the Independent reports.

A Norwegian woman mountain climber and her Nepali Sherpa guide have set a new record by scaling the world's 14 highest peaks in 92 days, a Pakistani mountaineering official said.

On July 27, Kristin Harila and Tenjen Sherpa summitted K2 on the Chinese-Pakistani border in the Karakorum Range — considered to be among the most dangerous peaks for mountaineers.

A retired attorney from Chicago who became the oldest American to scale Mount Everest, and a Hong Kong teacher who is now the fastest female climber of the world's highest peak, on May 30 returned safely from the mountain where climbing teams have struggled with bad weather and a coronavirus outbreak.

The second Bulgarian climb of K2 is already a fact! At 7:53 am this morning Stefan Stefanov was on the eighth place as part of an international expedition.

10 mountaineers, 6 Nepalese Sherpas and 3 from Pakistan participate in it. 

On May 15 he climbed the third highest peak in the world -Kanchenjunga, and last year the Bulgarian looked at the world and from Everest.

The Sherpas and the Chinese who are looking for Boyan Petrov have not found the Bulgarian, but have found tools and materials probably used by him. The equipment and everything found will be analyzed by the rescuers, according to the latest information from the operation.

Boyan Petrov disappeared on May 3 in an attempt to conquer Shishapangma.

The group of experienced Sherpas who are looking for the missing Bulgarian mountaineer Boyan Petrov under Shishapangma peak in the Himalayas will climb to the highest point tomorrow. This is the last official information from the rescue operation.

The top will not be climbed today - the Sherpas will search for Boyan Petrov from Camp 3 down.

This decision took Boyan Petrov's wife - Radoslava Nenova, she announced, because she doesn't want to endanger other lives. The popular Bulgarian mountaineer disappeared on May 3rd as he was climbing the 8,000m Shishapangma.

A Nepali Sherpa is hoping to summit Mount Everest for a record-breaking 22nd time next month, during the busy climbing season that each year sees hundreds of climbers reach the top of the world.

A Greek woman who was feared missing in Nepal following a deadly earthquake has informed her family she is well.

The Cretan woman?s father told Mega TV on Monday that his daughter had been in a mountain village when the 7.8 Richter earthquake struck and had not realised the damage it caused.

The age-old adage in Greek goes like this: “You were lucky amid you unluckiness”. And that was definitely the case with nine Greek mountain climbers last week, who avoided being in a spot where a deadly avalanche struck near Mt. Everest because their Sherpa had taken their money and disappeared when they arrived in Nepal.
