Rita, one of the greatest mountain guides regained his title with the most climbs of Mount Everest after scaling the peak for the 27th time on Wednesday, just three days after a fellow Sherpa climber had equalled his previous record.
The season’s first wave of climbers reached the summit over the weekend as Sherpa guides fixed ropes and made paths for the hundreds who will attempt to scale the peak over the remaining days of May. By the first or second week of May, they are usually making attempts for the summit. This year’s climbing, however, was slightly delayed afteron a treacherous section of the mountain in April. Rescuers have not been able to find them.
Kami Rita first scaled Everest in 1994, and has been making the trip nearly every year since then. He is one of many Sherpa guides whose expertise and skills are vital to the safety and success of foreign climbers who seek to stand on top of the mountain every year.
