"Kami Rita Sherpa needs no introduction. He is not just a national climbing hero, but a global symbol of Everest itself, added the expedition organiser."
"I am glad for the record, but records are eventually broken. I am more happy that my climbs help Nepal be recognised in the world, Kami Rita told AFP."
Kami Rita, a 55-year-old Sherpa climber known as Everest Man, has established a new world record by summiting Mount Everest for the 31st time, first achieving this feat in 1994. He reached the peak while guiding a 22-member Indian army team and was accompanied by 27 Sherpas. Authorities have noted that his achievements have significantly boosted Nepal's mountaineering reputation. Despite his record-setting status, Kami Rita emphasized that his motivation stems from a desire to promote Nepal rather than merely focusing on records.
