Mount Everest cloaked in clouds.

For the few mountaineers who do choose to take on the world's highest peak, reaching the top would usually be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but one man has just scaled Everest for the 29th time, breaking his own record.

Sherpa guide Kami Rita reached the 29,032-foot peak at 7:25 a.m. on Sunday, according to a post on X by Seven Summits Treks, where he works as a Senior Guide. Rita posted an image to his own Instagram page just a few hours ago, which you can see below, reporting that he is now safely back at Base Camp after his impressive feat.
