Tenjen Sherpa

Tenjen Sherpa, also known as Tenjen Lama Sherpa, was a Nepalese mountaineer who climbed all fourteen eight-thousanders together with Kristin Harila in 92 days, a record for the fastest ascent of all fourteen, although they used helicopters between base camps and supplemental oxygen. He became the fiftieth recorded climber to complete the fourteen on 27 July 2023. In 2019 he and his brothers set the record for the most siblings to climb Kangchenjunga, and he worked as a guide for the Nepalese company Seven Summit Treks. He went missing after an avalanche on Shishapangma on 7 October 2023 and was declared dead by the Chinese authorities the next day.
