Kami Rita, one of the most experienced and revered climbing guides on Mount Everest, has successfully summited the world’s highest peak for the 29th time, solidifying his record as the most frequent climber to reach the peak. This latest ascent comes just a year after he set the record for most climbs on Everest in the first place, and he has already been making the trip nearly every year since his first climb in 1994.
Rita’s journey to the top was accompanied by other climbers, and he was reportedly in good health upon his return, already en route to lower camps. His frequent ascents are not only a testament to his remarkable physical endurance but also a reflection of his insatiable passion for the mountain. Rita’s reputation as a skilled guide has been earned through years of experience, and he has played a vital role in ensuring the safety and success of foreign climbers who seek to stand at the summit.
Rita’s guide, Mingma Sherpa, notes that the climber was said to be in good health and on his way down to lower camps, indicating that his most recent ascent was uneventful and trouble-free. Rita’s fellow Sherpa guide, Pasang Dawa, has also been vying for the title of most climbs on Everest, with a total of 27 successful ascents under his belt.
Rita’s remarkable record is a result of his dedication to the mountain and his profession. He has scaled several other peaks that are among the world’s highest, including K2, Cho Oyu, Manaslu, and Lhotse. His expertise and skills are invaluable to the success of each climbing season, and his ability to communicate effectively with foreign climbers is essential to the safety and well-being of those who rely on his guidance.
As the Nepalese authorities have issued hundreds of climbing permits to foreign climbers for this season, Rita and fellow Sherpa guides will be accompanying them on their journey to the top. The guide’s successful ascents have cemented his reputation as one of the most exceptional climbing guides on the planet, and his continued dedication to the mountain will undoubtedly inspire future generations of climbers.
