Ex-captain lifted World Cups in both white-ball formats and won five Ashes series
RENOWNED Sherpa mountain guide Kami Rita returned from Mount Everest today after his record 30th ascent of the world’s highest peak, vowing to climb the mountain again next year,
The 54-year-old guide had scaled the 8,849-metre (29,032-foot) peak earlier this week, his second time this month, breaking his own record for the most successful climb of the peak.
“I will continue climbing and will be back again next year and for at least one or two more years,” Kami Rita told reporters on arrival at the airport in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital.
