Thursday, seventy seven mountain climbers ascend the Mount everest for the first time. Before this in May 16, 2006 sixty two climbers had made the world record climbing mount everest on single day and again this record had broken by sixty five mountaineers on 30 may 2005. During the period (may 1 to may 8) of taking the Olympic Torch by China on highest peak of the world, the summit was closed. That is why the number of climbers increases to be on summit. Pujan Acharya, 23 year old woman from Gaurishankar-4, Dlakha, Nepal, became the first woman from the Brahmin community to climb the Mount Everest.
Appa tops Everest record 18th time: Appa Sherpa, smashing his own world record, climbed mt everest for the 18 time Thursday, when 76 more climbers made it atop the highest peak on the planet. Appa along with his team member, scaled 8,848 meter mountain early Thursday morning, said Ang Tshering Sherpa, president of Nepal Mountaineering Association. However, the tourism Ministry is yet to confirm this. Appa, 48, first climbed Everest on may 10, 1990 as a high altitude worker for the Kiwi-Everest Expedition. Since then, he has reached that summit every year except in 1996 and 2001. He ascended Everest two times each in 1992 and 1997. After completing his 12th Everest ascent, Appa announced his retirement in 2002, citing family reasons. But he abandoned his retirement plans and returned to mountaineering the next year. In 2006, Appa moved with his family to Utah, USA to ensure good education for his children. Mt Everest has been ascended over 3,000 times since 1953 when Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary made it to the summit for the first time. Apa and Lhakpa Sherpa Mount Everest World Record Climbers
