Nepal’s Record Holding Climber Mingma G. Sherpa Receives Heroic Welcome Upon Arriving Back Home
Nepali record-setting climber Mingma G Sherpa (center) receives a heroic welcome as he returns home after successfully ascending the highest peaks on all seven continents on January 3, 2025. Sherpa sets the incredible feat of becoming the first Nepali to successfully summit all eight 8,000-meter peaks without supplemental oxygen. Hailing from Rolwaling of Dolakha District, bordering the Tibetan side from Nepal, Sherpa stands atop Shishapangma (8,027 meters) in Tibet on October 4, 2024, becoming the first climber from Nepal to scale 14 of the 8,000-meter peaks without the use of supplemental oxygen. Mingma G climbs Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Kanchenjunga, and Mt. Everest in 2022 without using supplemental oxygen. The IFMGA guide scales Manaslu in 2021, Gasherbrum-II in 2019, Lhotse and Broad Peak in 2018, K2, Makalu, and Nanga Parbat in 2017, Gasherbrum-I in 2016, and Annapurna in 2015 without using bottled oxygen.
