Nepali mountaineer Kami Rita Sherpa on Sunday broke his own world record by scaling Mount Everest for the 32nd time, while fellow climber Lhakpa Sherpa extended her record for the most Everest summits by a woman with her 11th successful ascent.
The twin milestones were confirmed by Nepal’s Department of Tourism, which said Kami Rita reached the 8,849-metre peak at 10:12 am local time during the Spring 2026 mountaineering season while leading an expedition operated by 14 Peaks Expedition.
