How Many People Have Reached Mount Everest Summit
You want weird? Here’s weird. Kami Rita Sherpa has summited Everest 29 times. Twenty-nine! He’s practically a mountain commuter. He probably knows the trail better than his own driveway.
Then there’s Apa Sherpa, who did it 21 times. These guys make the rest of us look lazy. And the youngest? A 13-year-old boy from California named Jordan Romero. He did it in 2010. Imagine doing your homework at base camp.
The oldest? Yuichiro Miura, a Japanese skier, summited at 80 years old. He also famously skied down part of Everest in 1970. He’s basically a human action figure.

The "I Did It Naked" Crowd
Yes, someone summited without oxygen. That’s insane. More insane? Someone summited in bare feet. That’s right—no shoes. Your toes would fall off just thinking about it.
There’s even a guy who did it with no arms. Yes, lost both arms in an accident. He still climbed to the top. Everest doesn’t care about your excuses.
