Nepal – the home of world records has earned another record for itself. Sanu Sherpa from Sankhuwasabha district scaled Mt. Dhaulagiri and became the third Nepali mountaineer and 42nd world climber to complete all 14 mountains above 8,000 m.
Below is the list of Sanu Sherpa’s scaling achievements:
Speaking about Sanu Sherpa’s feat, Seven Summit Treks Managing Director Tashi Lakpa Sherpa said that he had started his climb from Makalu and scaled the 8,167 m Dhaulagiri mountain to complete all 14 peaks above 8,000 m.
“Lakpa Temba Sherpa and Phurtenzi Sherpa, being part of the rope-fixing team from Seven Summit Treks opened the climbing route,” said Chhang Dawa Sherpa Expedition Director.
Bulgarian climber Skatov Atanas Georgiev accompanied Sanu Sherpa when he completed his 13th above-8,000 m mountains Gasherbrum I and II in August 2019.
Likewise, Nepali climbers Mingma Sherpa and Chhang Dawa also completed the 14 above-8,000 m mountains to become the World’s First Two Brothers to achieve the feat.
Migma Sherpa also became the first South Asian climber to scale all 14 peaks.
