Nepali Sherpa Pasang Dawa became the world’s second person to scale Mount Everest 26 times.
His Everest Summits are in 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, twice in 2006, twice in 2007, 2008, 2009, twice in 2010, 2011, 2012, twice in 2013, 2016, 2017, twice in 2018 and twice in 2019 and twice in 2022.
The only other person to have climbed the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) mountain 26 times is mountain guide Kami Rita Sherpa.
Sherpas, who mostly use their first names, are known for their climbing skills and make a living mainly by guiding foreign clients in the mountains.
Nepal has issued a record 467 permits this year for foreign climbers seeking to reach the summit of Everest.
This year also marks the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay.
