- Scaling Mount Everest is only a dream for many and a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for most professional mountaineers. Well, not for this Nepali Sherpa, who has now repeated the feat for a record 26th time. Kami Rita, 52, again led a group of other Sherpa climbers along the traditional southeast ridge route to the world’s tallest peak. In the process, he beat his own previous record set last year.
