Most Ascents of Mount Everest

Nepali mountain guide Kami Rita Sherpa reached the summit of Everest for a 32nd time in May 2026, extending his own record for the most Everest ascents by any individual. He first summited in 1994 and has returned to the top almost every climbing season since while working as a professional Sherpa guide. No other climber has come close to matching his total.
