Two Sherpas set summit records

A veteran Sherpa guide scaled Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Wednesday, for the 22nd time, setting a record for the most climbs of the world’s highest mountain, while a female Sherpa made it to the summit for the ninth time, shattering her own record for the most climbs by a woman. A total of 94 climbers reached the summit on Wednesday because of good weather conditions. More than 340 foreign climbers along with their local guides are attempting to climb the peak this month.
