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.
