Since then he has climbed Everest almost every year, guiding clients. It was not immediately clear whether he had a client with him on Sunday.“Back again for the 29th summit to the top of the world… One man’s job, another man/woman’s dream,” Sherpa posted on his Instagram from base camp last week. Most Everest hopefuls are escorted by a Nepali guide, meaning more than 800 climbers will tread the path to the top of the world’s highest peak in the coming weeks after a group of Nepali climbers opened the route to the summit on Friday.
