Sherpa becomes the first person to climb the world’s 14 tallest peaks twice after reaching top of Gasherbrum II. A 47-year-old Nepalese Sherpa has set a climbing record by scaling all the world’s 14 peaks higher than 8,000 metres for a second time, according to his agency. “It feels so good to be in the mountain.” Nepali mountaineer Sanu Sherpa has created history by summiting the world’s 14 highest peaks above 8,000m twice, a feat never achieved before. https://t.co/3tqZ7qRPaC — Everest Chronicle July 21, 2022 Members of the Himalayan Sherpa ethnic group have long been the backbone for Western expeditions to the top of the world’s tallest peaks, often pursuing the dangerous work of setting climbing ropes, guiding paying climbers and carrying equipment, to escape poverty. In 2019, Nimsdai “Nims” Purja led a team of Sherpas who climbed all of the world’s 14 tallest peaks in just six months and six days, setting a new world record.
