\nHis father was among the first professional Sherpa guides after Everest was opened to foreign mountaineers in 1950. His brother, Lakpa Rita Sherpa, also a guide, scaled Everest 17 times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can climb for a few more years,\u201d said Kami Rita Sherpa some time ago in a BBC interview. \u201cI am healthy. I can go until I am 60 years old. With oxygen it\u2019s no big deal, we were born in the Himalayas.\u201d The 49-year-old reached the summit of Mount Everest at 8,850 meters today at 7.50 a.m. local time \u2013 for the 23rd time already \u2013 thus improving his own record. \u201cI\u2019ve been always 100 percent focused on my job,\u201d Kami Rita told the BBC. \u201cI never thought about making records. I actually didn\u2019t know that you could make a record. Had I known, I would have done a lot more summits earlier.\u201d

\nKami Rita has retained his humility towards Mount Everest. For the Sherpas, Chomolungma, as they call it, is a sacred mountain on which a goddess lives. \u201cMonths before I begin an ascent, I start worshipping and asking for her forgiveness because I have to put my feet on her body. Right before the final steps to the summit, others run to take photos but I bow my head again and ask for her forgiveness,\u201d says Kami Rita Sherpa. \u201cNo matter how strong you are, how good you prepare, you have to be blessed by God to reach the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kami Rita has also scaled other peaks that are higher than 8,000 meters, including K-2, Cho-Oyu, Manaslu, Annapurna and Lhotse. Some of other 8000ers had been climbed more than twice by Kami Rita Sherpa.Elbrus. Amadablam. Barutse. Annapurna (iv) <\/p>\n
