Nepal plans to break the record of Jordan Romero, the youngest person ever to conquer Everest

After a 13 year old kid named Jordan Romero from California, a US teenager climbed Mt. Everest, the world’s highest peak and became the youngest person ever to hold the record last month now Pemba Dorje Sherpa, a Nepalese Sherpa who climbed Everest in eight hours and 10 minutes in 2004 and held the record for the fastest ascent is hoping to find a younger Nepalese climber to beat Jordan Romero’s record next year and he is also considering to break the record by his nine-year-old son if possible.
Pemba Dorje Sherpa said that before Jordan Romero the last youngest person to hold the record was Temba Tsheri of Nepal, a 16-year-old kid who was also a relative of Pemba. Temba Tsheri had held the record for more than 10 years.
Pemba also says that, “Nepal is a small country and we do not get much good publicity. I want to take an 11 or 12 year-old Kid to the summit because I think all the Everest records should be held by Nepalese people.”
Pemba was born in a small village in the Himalayas of Nepal but now he lives in the capital city Kathmandu. He had travelled to his home district to find a child to take to the summit during climbing season of 2011 but it was very difficult for him to find anyone with a birth certificate because in remote villages of Nepal most women deliver their children at home and few births are formally registered. Due to this Pemba fears that it would be difficult to prove the climbing record without birth certificate so now he is considering to take his own son Tseten Sherpa, who will turn 10 later this year.
Besides Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, around 3,000 people have already conquered Everest and several hundreds of people have also died due to various altitude sicknesses so to take a very young child to the summit is very dangerous and risky too, it will arise controversy.
As well as the Government of Nepal does not give permit to climb Everest who is below than 16, Jordan Romero accompanied by his father Paul had climbed Everest from the northern side of the mountain in Tibet but Pemba said the tourism ministry of Nepal has agreed to make an exception for a Nepalese child seeking to break the American’s record.
