"Nima Rinji Sherpa: Youngest Climber to Conquer All 14 Peaks Celebrated at Hard Rock Café Kathmandu"

KATHMANDU, Oct 20:Nima Rinji Sherpa, an 18-year-old Nepali mountaineer, has made history as the youngest climber to summit all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks. His journey culminated on October 9, 2024, when he reached the summit of Shishapangma in Tibet, completing an extraordinary challenge that began in September 2022 with Manaslu. 

On October 19, Hard Rock Café Kathmandu hosted an exclusive Meet and Greet with Nima, celebrating his remarkable journey. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with him during a Q&A session and hear stories from his climbs. 

The event also marked the launch of the Nima Tee, a collaboration between Nima, Hard Rock Café Kathmandu, and 14 Peaks Expedition, designed to empower and inspire.

Nima's ascent of the world's highest peaks included iconic mountains like Mount Everest and K2, showcasing not only his physical prowess but also his commitment to changing perceptions of Sherpas through his #SherpaPower initiative.

Nima's record-breaking achievement is not just a personal milestone; it symbolizes a shift in how the global community views Sherpas, traditionally seen as support climbers.

He aims to inspire younger generations to see themselves as elite athletes and adventurers rather than just guides. His message resonates deeply within the Sherpa community, emphasizing dignity in their work and the limitless potential ahead.

This milestone has received international attention, with coverage from major media outlets including DW News, highlighting Nima's significant role in redefining Sherpa identity in mountaineering.
