Nineteen not out!

Legendary Sherpa climber Apa completed his 19th ascent of Everest this morning, extending his own record for the number of summits. This amazing feat was to raise awareness of climate change's impact on the Himalayas. Apa Sherpa's expedition team collected rubbish from the mountain and spent around 30 minutes at the top of Everest, unfurling a banner saying "Stop Climate Change". http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jKo0nDn0AQAUS82q3qfbTR3q8efQD98AS6N80
