Some records are so tough that breaking them once feels impossible. Breaking them again and again takes extraordinary strength, experience, and determination. High in the Himalayas, one man has done just that. Kami Rita Sherpa, a legendary mountaineer from Nepal, has once again made history by conquering the world’s highest peak for a record-breaking time.
Kami Rita has climbed Mount Everest 31 times, setting a new world record for the most ascents of the tallest mountain on Earth. With this climb, he has beaten his own previous record, proving once more why he is known as the King of Everest.
Who is Kami Rita?
Kami Rita is a 55-year-old Sherpa and professional mountain guide from Nepal. He first climbed Mount Everest in 1994. Since then, he has reached the summit almost every year.

Kami Rita achieved his 31st ascent while guiding a group of Indian Army officials up Mount Everest. His deep knowledge of the mountain, changing weather, and dangerous routes makes him one of the most trusted and respected climbers in the world.
