CNN —A Nepalese teenager has become the youngest person to summit the world’s 14 highest peaks. Nima started his epic journey in September 2022 when he climbed Nepal’s 8,163m Manaslu. Over the next two years, he summited all of the “8000ers” including Everest, the world’s highest mountain at 8,848.86m, and the notoriously dangerous K2 at 8,611m. Nima took to Instagram to commemorate the completion of the grueling challenge, writing: “I dedicate this world record to my project, #SherpaPower. Climbing Sherpas are more often than not the people who make international mountaineering expeditions possible.
