Nima Rinji Sherpa set the record after reaching the top of Tibet’s Mount Shishapangma on Wednesday, Nepalese mountaineering company Seven Summit Treks said in a statement. “Nima’s remarkable achievement began in September 2022 when he climbed his first 8000m peak, Mount Manaslu,” said Seven Summit Treks. “To humanity as a whole: let this climb remind us that the peaks we reach together, united, are far greater than any individual achievement,” Nima wrote after setting the world record. “Nima broke all the stereotypes and his success has given a message that nothing is impossible if you have a strong determination.” Rakesh Gurung, head of Nepalese tourism department’s mountaineering division, confirmed Mr Sherpa’s record on Thursday, The New York Times reported.
