Nepal's 'Everest Man' sets record with 31st summit

Nepali sherpa Kami Rita, nicknamed the "Everest Man," sets a new record by summiting Mount Everest for the 31st time. Guiding a group of Indian army officials, he reached the 8,849m peak at 04:00 local time on Tuesday. Kami Rita breaks his own record, with his closest competitor having scaled Everest 29 times. This achievement highlights his contribution to Nepal's recognition worldwide and reflects the growing concerns of overcrowding and environmental impact on the mountain.
