Nepassian climber Pasang Dava rose to Everest for the 26th time, breaking the record of his colleague Kami Rita. This is reported by the publication KathMandu Post.
46-year-old Dava climbed the top this morning, accompanied by a Hungarian climber.
Last year, a 53-year-old Nepanist Kami Rita broke his own record after a successful climb to the top of the highest mountain in the world for the 26th time. He plans to conquer the top this season.
This year, the spring climbing Everest began with a delay due to the fact that the three Nepalian guides-sherpa went missing after they were demolished by an avalanche into a deep crack.
Everest (Jomolungma) is the highest mountain on the planet. Its officially recognized height is 8848.86 meters above sea level.
