☆ A Champion Sherpa Died Guiding Foreigners. Is It Too Dangerous?
  + stars: | 2024-06-11 | by ( Hannah Beech | Bhadra Sharma | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
In July 2023, the mountaineer Tenjen Lama Sherpa guided a Norwegian climber to summit the world’s 14 highest peaks in record time. In a sport that demands an alchemy of sinewy resolve and high-altitude faith, Mr. Lama did everything his client did and more. The kind of lucrative endorsements enjoyed by foreign athletes are not usually given to Nepal’s ethnic Sherpas. Mr. Lama could not afford to rest after guiding the Norwegian, he told The New York Times. He could not read or write, but he wanted his sons to get the best education, a costly endeavor.

Shishapangma, at just over 8,000 metres (26,247 feet), is the world's 14th tallest peak. Two avalanches hit its slopes at elevations of 7,600 metres and 8,000 metres on Saturday, killing American climber Anna Gutu and Nepalese guide Mingmar Sherpa, Xinhua reported on Sunday. All climbing activity on Shishapangma was suspended because of the unstable snow conditions. Had one of the Pakistani climbers, Sirbaz Khan, reached the top of Shishapangma he would have become the first Pakistani to summit all 14 mountains over 8,000 metres. Among those who had previously died on Shishapangma was famed American climber Alex Lowe in 1999, also because of an avalanche.

CNN —A record-breaking Norwegian climber has hit out at what she calls “misinformation and hatred” surrounding claims she and her team climbed over a dying porter on K2 to summit the deadly peak. In a statement posted to her website on Thursday, Harila insisted she and her team did everything they could to save Pakistani mountain porter Mohammad Hassan. Pakistani mountain porter Mohammad Hassan died after slipping on K2, the world's second highest mountain. Kristin Harila/InstagramSteindl and Flämig said they later spoke with witnesses to confirm what had happened and ascertain the victim’s identity. We did not fully understand the gravity of everything that happened until later,” Harila added.

☆ Norwegian woman, Nepali sherpa become world's fastest to climb all 14 tallest peaks

“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.
