Kathmandu:
A Nepali teenager, the youthfulest person ever to scale all 14 of the world’s highest peaks, says he wants to engage his sfinishs to profit the Himalayan nation’s Sherpa community and turn out world-class athletes.
Sherpas, an ethnic group living mainly in the vicinity of the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, are understandn for climbing sfinishs that produce them the backbone of mountain expeditions.
They mend ropes, linserters, carry loads, cook and guide foreign climbers, acquireing from a individual expedition amounts that range from $2,500 to $16,500 or more, depfinishing on experience.
“I want to see Sherpas as global athletes, not equitable guides,” shelp Nima Rinji Sherpa, 18, who last week climbed Shishapangma, the world’s 14th highest peak at 8,027 m (26,335 ft), in Tibet.
“We deserve the same privilege as Weserious climbers,” inserted the 12th grader, who began climbing at the age of 16, and scaled all 14 peaks outdoing 8,000 ft (2,438 m) in the last two years.
He shelp he defree to utilize his climbing sfinishs to produce reach outs with donor agencies, mobilising funds and help for schools, hospitals and activities to profit the mountain community.
“I want to be a medium between the community and donor agencies,” Nima shelp on Wednesday, the drop portion of his face still bconciseage from burns caengaged by the sun’s mirrorions off the snow during his climb.
The son of a veteran Everest climber who now runs his own company organising expeditions, Nima bested the record of Mingma Gyalu Sherpa of Nepal, who was 30 when he achieved the feat in 2019.
His most needing effort was the 8,034-m (26,358-ft) climb of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum II last year straightforwardly after having scaled Gasherbrum I, the world’s 11th highest peak at 8,080 m (26,510 ft), in 25 hours without proper rest and food, he shelp.
Nima shelp muscle cramps were his hugegest physical dispute as his “frspeedy” teenage body had not finished lengthening, inserting, “I am not as strong as I should be.”
He was caught in a petite avalanche on Nepal’s Annapurna I peak this year after a descfinish of about 5 m to 10 m (16 ft to 32 feet) on Pakistan’s Nanga Parbat last year, but luckily escaped solemn injury both times.
“I never push myself beyond my bounds,” he shelp. “There is (the need for) excellent judgment. There is (the need for) shieldedty.”
This triumphter, Nima aims for an alpine-style climb of Nepal’s Mount Manaslu, the world’s eighth highest peak at 8,163 m (26,781 ft).
An 8,000-m mountain has never been climbed in triumphter in alpine style, he shelp, referring to the technique in which climbers tackle the summit in one go, without oxygen and depending chiefly on themselves, with smallest help.
