Kathmandu, October 13. World record-holding IFMGA/UIAGM and NNMGA guide Chhiring Sherpa has successfully completed the ascent of all 14 of the world’s highest peaks after summiting Mount Cho Oyu on Monday morning (October 13).
Chhiring reached the summit of the world’s sixth-highest mountain, Cho Oyu, at 7:45 a.m. (China time). With this latest climb, he has officially completed all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters — a milestone achieved by only a few mountaineers worldwide, he shared on social media.
Chhiring Sherpa is a Managing Director and Expedition Leader at Expedition Base.com.
Originally from the Makalu region of Nepal, he earned his international mountain guide certification in 2016, which allows him to guide professionally across the globe.
A versatile and accomplished climber, Chhiring made headlines in 2023 by setting a speed ascent record on Mount K2, reaching the summit in an astonishing 12 hours and 20 minutes. In the same year, he achieved another remarkable feat by summiting four 8,000-meter peaks within just 24 days in Pakistan.
Chhiring first gained recognition in 2014, becoming one of Nepal’s youngest climbers to summit K2. Beyond his expedition successes, he has also been deeply involved in mountain education and training, serving as a lead instructor at the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation’s Khumbu Climbing Center, teaching base mountaineering courses organized by the Nepal Mountaineering Instructors Association (NMIA), and instructing mountaineering skills in New Zealand.
His international experience includes guiding in the Rocky Mountains of Australia, and his athletic achievements include winning first place in the National Open Climbing Competition (2014) and second place in the national speed climbing event the same year.
Known for his professionalism, dedication, and honesty, Chhiring Sherpa is widely regarded as one of Nepal’s most skilled and responsible expedition leaders.
