KATHMANDU: A 48-year-old Nepali woman scaled Mount Everest for the 10th time yesterday, breaking her own record for the most summits of the world’s highest mountain by a female climber, her hiking company said.

Lhakpa Sherpa last climbed the 8 848.86m mountain in 2018. A fellow Nepali, Kami Rita Sherpa, holds the men’s record of 26 climbs.

“Lhakpa has broken her own record and become the first woman to achieve 10 summits,” said her brother, Mingma Gelu Sherpa, an official of her Seven Summit Club hiking agency. A tourism official, Bhishma Kumar Bhattarai, confirmed that she had reached the summit.

Also yesterday, seven members of an “All Black Expedition” comprising climbers from the US and Kenya climbed Mount Everest, said Jeevan Ghimire of the Shangrila-Nepal

Trek hiking company. Fewer than 10 black mountaineers in total had reached the peak before, but this is the first time that all members of an expedition were black, hiking officials said.
