Amazing, and very respectable compared with current record-holder Sherpa Kami Rita. www.cbsnews.com/news/everest...

White person consolation prize

what's the fucking point beyond being a selfish git? Go volunteer somewhere....

He climbed Mount Everest because it was there, and when he came down, it was still there.

“Non-Sherpa” This reminds me, my son mowed the lawn for the 10th time, a record for “non-me” mowers.

Explain to me like I’m 5 why Sherpas don’t count…

It’s odd to have one count for Sherpas and another for everyone else.

How much garbage was left on the mountain to support this guy's habit? Want to impress me, a good start would be to tell us that he came back down carrying - on his own back - at least one more O2 bottle than he used. You need to write a story about this guy:

Funny responses here. These people are nuts to do this, but I'm fascinated by all-things-Everest.

The "by a non-sherpa guide" part of this points to how shameful it is that this man gets any press at all when there are others who have done it more often. The Guinness Book of World Records doesn't have a separate list of white or rich people who broke a record.

An incredible personal feat. But the true record belongs to a sherpa. Don't qualify them out. Seems very disrespectful. Almost like a DEI trophy for rich white people. Very few would even get near the summit without sherpas. Very few of us get anywhere without the aid of the humble working class.

Great job😀

“Non-Sherpa guide” is a really critical piece of information.

I'll help you out. It's not a record for anything that isn't inherently racist.

I just gotta ask, but why?

What a waste of time. Probably left over a ton of garbage.

I feel like that would get boring after the 2nd or 3rd time

He holds the DEI record

Now that’s impressive

“By a non Sherpa guide” means he didn’t break any records. He went up 19 times and that’s a pretty significant feat for someone not from the area but records shouldn’t have asterisks on them. You either broke the record or you didn’t.

Get a job.

So much pollution to be in a futile book of record.
