Nepalese climber Kami Rita Sherpa has reached the top of Mount Everest for the 27th time, reclaiming the record for the most summits of the world’s highest mountain, a government official and his hiking company said.
Kami Rita, 53, scaled the 8,849-metre (29,032-foot) mountain early in the morning on Wednesday, along the traditional southeast ridge route, guiding a Vietnamese climber.
