关于他的维基百科
Babu Chiri Sherpa (June 22, 1965 - April 29, 2001) was a Sherpa mountaineer from Nepal. He was a legendary guide who reached the summit of Mount Everest ten times.[1] He held 2 world records on Everest. He spent 21 hours on the summit of Everest without auxiliary oxygen, ** he made the fastest ascent of Everest in 16 hours ** 56 minutes.[2]
Early life
Babu Chiri Sherpa was born in Taksindu, a small Sherpa village near Salleri, the headquarters of Solukhumbu District in Nepal. As a child he spent most of his time helping his parents on their farm. Babu Chiri was uneducated as no schools existed in his or surrounding villages.
As a boy, Chiri was amazed by the mountains that surrounded his village. Many Sherpas support themselves by guiding ** portering in the mountains. The legend of Tenzing Norgay, ** Norgay himself, influenced Chiri. He always dreamed of reaching the pinnacles of those great peaks one day.
MountaineeringHe began his career as a climber at the age of 16 when he procured a job as a trekking porter. On his first portering assignment he scaled the notorious Ambhu Labtsa pass. He summited Mera Peak (6472 m) in four hours in 1985.
Chiri eventually found work portering for Everest expeditions. It was during this time he began showing his true abilities as a high altitude mountaineer. Chiri reached the summit of Everest a record ten times.
Babu Chiri still holds the record for the fastest ascent without oxygen to the summit of Everest at 16 hours ** 56 minutes, breaking the previous record held by Kazi Sherpa of 21 hours. He performed this feat in winds approaching 55 knots (102 km/h). Pemba Dorjie currently holds the world record for the quickest climb up Mount Everest, using oxygen[citation needed], with a time of 8 hours ** 10 minutes.
In May 1999 he spent a record 21 hours on the summit without supplementary oxygen, even sleeping there.
Babu Chiri spoke four languages: Sherpa, Nepali, English ** Hindi. He travelled to Canada, China, Italy, Mexico, Pakistan ** the United States. He had six daughters.
DeathIn 2001, Chiri signed on for his eleventh Everest expedition. He was planning another bid for the summit. On April 29 while near Camp II (6,500 m) ** apparently taking photographs, Chiri miscalculated his steps ** fell into a crevasse ** was killed.
LegacyChiri was an environmentalist ** a humanitarian. He worked to have a school built in his home village; the school was completed before his death.
On September 25, 2005, the Royal Nepali Government, as represented by the Crown Prince, inaugurated the Babu Chiri Memorial Museum ** erected a statue of Chiri.
