  + stars: | 2024-03-02 | by ( Lauren Edmonds | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
A 35-member team helped Edmund Hillary and his sherpa reach the top of Mount Everest in 1953. Kanchha told AP that Mount Everest is now "very dirty" and being disrespected by climbers. At 29,032 feet, Mount Everest is considered the highest point on Earth and attracts a plethora of tourists. Mount Everest remains one of the most popular tourist spots in the world, but it doesn't come without risks. More than 310 people have died climbing Mount Everest since explorations first launched in the 1900s.

CNN —A Norwegian woman and a Nepali man smashed the record on Thursday for the fastest summit of all 14 of the world’s 8,000-metre (26,000-feet) mountains, their team said in a statement. The pair surpassed Nepal-born British adventurer Nirmal Purja’s record of six months and six days, set in 2019. Purja is now attempting to set the record for the fastest ascent of all 14 peaks without supplemental oxygen, he said on Twitter. Mount Everest, the tallest of the 14 highest peaks, issued permits for a record number of climbers this year, for this spring season’s expeditions. According to Nepali officials as the spring climbing season came to an end in June, 12 people died and five were missing on Everest.

“They have become the fastest to climb all 14 peaks,” Tashi, told Reuters, quoting information from the base camp. Climbing all 14 highest peaks in a few months is a challenging feat, which is normally done by many climbers in years. They set the fastest climbing record by beating Nirmal Purja from Nepal who completed all peaks in six months and one week in 2019. "They have made a summit a short while ago," Madison told Reuters adding that the Norwegian woman was "extremely tough mentally and physically". One of the sherpas, the 17-year-old Nima Rinjin Sherpa, also becomes the youngest to climb K2, Tashi said.
