Nepal Climbers

Nima Rinji Sherpa became the youngest climber to reach all 14 of the world’s tallest mountains, known as the “eight-thousanders.”

The five Russians went missing on October 6 during an attempt to summit the world's seventh-highest mountain Dhaulagiri, an 8,167-metre (26,795-foot) Himalayan peak.

Five Russian mountaineers were killed while climbing in Nepal, a tourism official said Tuesday, two days after the team lost contact while on the world's seventh-highest mountain, Dhaulagiri.

Nepali Sherpa climber and guide Kami Rita Sherpa on Wednesday morning again set out a world record with the 30th summit of Mount Everest, a record number by a single person.

A French climber died on Mount Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak, expedition organisers said Tuesday, the second fatality of this year's spring climbing season and both on the same mountain.

Nepal's Supreme Court has ordered the government to limit the number of mountaineering permits issued for Everest and other peaks, a lawyer confirmed Friday, just as expeditions prepare for the spring climbing season.

Nepal has ordered Everest mountaineers to carry mandatory trackers after one of the deadliest seasons last year -- and remove their excrement using compostable bags similar to those used for dog waste.

Climbers will need to purchase "poop bags" at the base camp. These bags will be "checked upon their return".

Rescuers in Nepal confirmed Tuesday the death of a well-known Russian climber on Mount Dhaulagiri, the world's seventh-highest peak, but bad weather prevented the recovery of her body.

Nepal's veteran summiteer Kami Rita Sherpa has made a new record for the 'Most Climbs of 8,000 metres', as he scaled 8,000ers 42 times, an official said.

The body of German mountaineer Luis Stitzinger has been found on Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest mountain, expedition organisers said Wednesday, days after he went missing during his descent from the summit.

A Nepali sherpa reached the summit of Mount Everest for a record 28th time today, an official said, completing his second ascent in just a week, as the toll in this year's climbing season reached 11.

Indian mountaineer Piyali Basak who scaled Mt. Makalu has been rescued from the mountain after she experienced some difficulty while descending from the peak, the organisers said.

Billionaire Gautam Adani arranged for an air ambulance to help transfer mountaineer Anurag Maloo, who was rescued after falling into a deep crevasse in Nepal's Mount Annapurna last month, from Kathmandu to the AIIMS in New Delhi.
