KATHMANDU: Renowned Sherpa climbers today scaled Carstensz Pyramid completing 7 summits, organisers said.
The founders of Seven Summit Treks Mingma Sherpa, Chhang Dawa Sherpa, Tashi Lakpa Sherpa, and Pasang Phurba Sherpa successfully summited Puncak Jaya, also known as Carstensz Pyramid, on 20 October 2024 at 1:50 pm local time, SST said.
With this ascent, Mingma and Chhang Dawa have reached a monumental milestone: they've completed the mission of conquering all 14 of the world's highest peaks, the 7 Summits, and also reached the South Pole.
Mingma Sherpa has already carved his name in history as the first South Asian to complete all 14 peaks, demonstrating unparalleled skill and determination. This is not just a personal victory; it's a groundbreaking achievement for climbers across South Asia.
Chhang Dawa Sherpa stands alongside Mingma as the first brothers in history to conquer all 14 peaks, showcasing the power of family, resilience, and shared passion for the mountains. Together, they've set a new standard for mountaineering excellence.
Tashi Lakpa Sherpa, who at a young age has already made waves in the climbing world, is the youngest climber to reach Mt. Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen. He has also completed the 7 Summits and reached the South Pole. His achievements inspire a new generation of adventurers and climbers, proving that passion knows no age limits.
Pasang Phurba Sherpa has completed 4 out of the 7 Summits, including Mt. Everest, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, and Carstensz Pyramid, SST said.
