Teen Mountaineer Nima Rinji Sherpa Sets Record, Aims for New Heights
At 18, Nima Rinji Sherpa becomes the youngest to summit all 14 of the world's highest peaks and plans a pioneering winter ascent of Manaslu.
- Nima Rinji Sherpa completed his record-setting climb on October 9, reaching the summit of Shishapangma, the last of the 'eight-thousanders.'
- Inspired by his family's mountaineering legacy, Nima aims to redefine the role of Sherpas from guides to leaders in the climbing community.
- His upcoming challenge is a winter ascent of Manaslu without supplemental oxygen or fixed ropes, a feat never before accomplished.
- Despite his achievements, Nima's expeditions lacked major sponsorship, highlighting a disparity in recognition and support for Sherpa climbers.
- Nima hopes to inspire young Nepali climbers and promote a sustainable future for Nepal's mountaineering industry.
