Kamirita Sherpa, who set a world record by climbing Mount Everest 28 times, is on the verge of breaking his own record.

Last year, he stepped on the peak of Everest for the 28th time and is preparing to climb it for the 29th time this year. Kamirita has reached the base camp for climbing Mount Everest.

Kamirita, who reached the Everest base camp from Kathmandu via Lukla, Namche a week ago for the Mount Everest climb of spring, said, 'I am going to climb the Mount Everest for the 29th time this year.

The 54-year-old man, who was born in Thame, Khumbu Pasanglhamu Rural Municipality of Solukhumbu, will break his own record if he climbs successfully this year. In the 71-year history of climbing Mount Everest, Kamirita holds the record for the most climbs. Last year, Pasang Dawa Sherpa of Solukhumbu climbed Mt. Everest 27 times. Pasang Dawa has not decided whether to climb Mount Everest this time or not. "I am going to climb Mt. Everest, I have no other purpose", Kamirita said, "I have only continued the profession of mountain climbing, I have not gone to Mt. Everest for a record."

Kamirita climbed Mount Everest twice in the spring of 2079. On May 17, 2023, Kamirita climbed Mount Everest for the 27th time. A few days after that, he managed to reach the peak of Everest for the second time. He climbed Mt. Everest for the 26th time while hanging the rope in the spring climb of 2022. He has climbed Mt. Everest eight times, Manaslu three times, Lhotse once, K T once and has climbed the world's highest mountains 40 times.

On May 13, 1994, Kamirita, who climbed the peak of Mount Everest for the first time, holds the record for the highest number of climbs to the 8,000-meter peak. Two brave mountaineers, Tenzingnorge Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary, climbed Mount Everest for the first time on May 29, 1953.
