Nepalese mountaineer on the risks and rewards of climbing the world's highest peaks

In October 2024, when he was just 18 years old, Nima Rinji Sherpa became the youngest person to climb all 14 of the world’s 8,000-metre peaks. It’s valuable experience that now means he feels “confident” when “going to the mountains”, even if there are risks “every time”. Speaking to FRANCE 24, Nima Rinji Sherpa says he has witnessed death multiple times while climbing, adding that mountaineers need to stay calm and make “good decisions”.Perspective#Nepalese #mountaineer #risks #rewards #climbing #world039s #highest #peaks1767797354
