Asa Sherpa has (0) CLIMBED Mount Everest more times than else in the world. Last year, he broke the world record by climbing the world’s highest mountain for the twenty-first time. , he says he won’t be able to do it again, because the mountain is becoming too dangerous to climb.
Asa first climbed the mountain 1989 at the age of 12. He worked as a porter, carrying supplies for trekkers. When he first climbed the mountain, there was plenty of snow and ice up there. Now there is much snow, and more bare rock.
Asa is about the lack of snow. Without snow to hold the rocks in place, there are more rockfalls. Melting ice makes big holes, and these make trips up the mountain very dangerous. Also, climbers slip more on rock than on snow.
