Sherpa to scatter Hillary's ashes on Everest
A record-breaking Nepalese Sherpa flew to Mount Everest today to prepare to scale the world’s highest mountain once again and scatter the ashes of its most celebrated climber, Edmund Hillary.
Apa, who with 19 successful climbs holds the record for the most trips to the summit, flew from the Nepalese capital, Katmandu, to Lukla, where he will begin yet another trek up Everest – this time to deposit Sir Edmund’s remaining ashes and clean up the peak.
