In a remarkable display of endurance and mountaineering skill, 29-year-old Tashi Gyalzen Sherpa has made history by successfully climbing Mt. Everest four times in just 15 days. This extraordinary achievement has not only stunned the global mountaineering community but also brought pride to Nepal, home to the world’s highest peak. Sherpa’s record-breaking feat highlights the unmatched strength and resilience of Nepali climbers in high-altitude conditions.
Tashi Gyalzen Sherpa, already an experienced climber, completed these ascents during the prime spring season when favorable weather windows allow climbers to scale Everest. While multiple summits within a season are not uncommon for Sherpas supporting commercial expeditions, climbing Everest four times in just two weeks is a rare and historic accomplishment.
With this milestone, Sherpa has solidified his place among elite high-altitude climbers and continues to inspire young mountaineers across the globe. His achievement also draws renewed attention to the crucial role played by Sherpas in guiding and supporting expeditions on some of the world’s toughest peaks.

According to Lakpa Sherpa, who reported from Everest Base Camp, “Tashi Gyalzen reached the summit point at around 3:13 AM.” His successful ascents took place on May 9, 14, 19, and 23, showcasing not only his personal dedication but also the peak of human capability in high-altitude mountaineering.
“This is a historic achievement in the world of Everest climbing,” said Pemba Sherpa, Chairman of 8K Expeditions, under which Tashi completed the climbs. “Climbing Everest once is a remarkable feat doing it four times in 15 days is something the world rarely witnesses.”
Tashi is now descending to Camp IV, according to the latest updates. Despite the harsh conditions, unpredictable weather, and extreme physical demands, the young climber has managed to maintain his pace and composure throughout the expedition.
