Kami Rita Sherpa, a 55-year-old mountaineering legend from Nepal, is preparing to climb Mount Everest for a record-breaking 31st time this spring—and possibly a 32nd, depending on conditions. With 30 successful ascents already under his belt, Rita holds the world record for the most Everest summits. He first reached the peak in 1994 and has since become a symbol of endurance and expertise in high-altitude guiding. Coming from a family of Sherpa guides, Rita emphasizes that his primary goal is the safety of his clients, but his passion for the mountains continues to drive him toward new heights. His remarkable journey not only showcases human resilience but also highlights the vital role Sherpa guides play in global mountaineering.
