Sherpa Guide Reaches Mount Everest Peak for the 16th Time	Message #17
Appa, a sherpa guide who carries gear and supplies up Mount Everest for trekkers and mountaineers, has reached the top of Mount Everest for the 16th time! No one else has reached the peaks of Mount Everest more times than Appa. Appa, who is 46, and his family, rely on the $1500 he earns from his annual climb. Since New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay first reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953, more than 1,400 climbers have scaled the peak. Another 180 people have died trying.
