Just a year ago, as a 17-year-old, Nima was ready to climb Mount Shishapangma in Tibet but faced a heartbreaking setback when avalanches claimed the lives of two American female climbers and their Sherpa guides, including his mentor, Tenjen Lama Sherpa. Devastated, Nima chose to assist in the rescue operations instead of pursuing his personal goal.
Now, armed with the memory of his late mentor, Nima returned and successfully ascended Mount Shishapangma, ensuring his place in history as the record-holder for the youngest climber to scale these formidable peaks. This monumental accomplishment was officially acknowledged by Nepal’s Department of Tourism.
Nima's journey has become a symbol of the strength and resilience of the Sherpa community, pushing for greater recognition of their unparalleled expertise and contributions to mountaineering ventures globally.
