Reaching the top of all 14 “eight-thousanders” is regarded as the pinnacle of mountaineering accomplishments, forcing climbers to pass through “death zones,” or places with low enough oxygen concentrations to support life for extended periods of time. Nima’s accomplishments at such a young age have been praised as an incredible example of his fortitude and tenacity.
Nima wrote on his Instagram page about the accomplishment, reflecting on his path. He said, “This summit is not just the culmination of my personal journey, but a tribute to every Sherpa who has ever dared to dream beyond the traditional boundaries set for us. Mountaineering is more than labour; it is a testament to our strength, resilience, and passion.”
Then he urged the population to protect the environment by saying that they define the mountain; it does not define them. Since they are its caretakers, the people who live here should define the world in which they live. He urged people to safeguard and maintain their natural resources so that they can all lead fulfilling and adventurous lives.
