First, at the start of the spring season, other Sherpas would have to attach ropes to dangerous places in order to make the routes safer for adventurers from abroad. During acclimatization, mountaineers slowly get used to the lower oxygen levels at high altitudes. Among other things, they spend time at different altitudes.
First ascent of Mount Everest at the age of 24
According to the Guinness Book of Records, Kami Rita Sherpa has climbed Mount Everest 28 times. The man from the Sherpa people reached the summit for the first time in 1994 at the age of 24. He began his career as a porter for foreign mountaineers. In May 2023, he was on the high mountain twice – once to attach ropes and once with paying guests from the USA, said the head of his expedition company Seven Summit Treks, Mingma Sherpa.
