RECORD: What's Easier... Climbing Mt Everest Or Winning The Lottery?
/Chhurim Sherpa with her Guinness World Record for her double Mt Everest climb.
Just recently a Nepalese woman climbed the highest mountain in the world. What was more surprising was that she did it twice within 11 days!
Only 3,000 people have reached the top of Mt Everest since the first - New Zealand's Sir Edmund Hillary - conquered it in 1953. So it's a rare event fraught with danger and death. Many don't make it.
