Nepal's noted mountaineer Apa Sherpa is all set to create a new world record by climbing the Everest, the world's highest mountain for a record 20th time later in May. The 49 year old Apa Sherpa first climbed the Everest in 1989 and repeated the ascent almost every year.<br/><br/>Addressing a press conference in Kathmandu on Thursday, Apa said he will carry with him the ashes of legendary mountaineer late Sir Edmund Hillary, who in 1953 became one of the first to conquer the Everest. Hillary died in New Zealand in 2008. AIR Correspondent reports that Apa will be leading the Eco Everest Expedition 2010 that will leave Kathmandu on 6th April. The expedition will consist of 17 Sherpas and 12 foreigners.<br/><br/>During the forthcoming environment expedition, the organizers plan to bring down seven tons of garbage from the Everest in an effort to clean up litters and human wastes in the mountain. The Eco Everest Expedition team has been continuing its initiative to create awareness among the local people and climbers to help keep Mt. Everest free from pollution. <br/><br/>Since its first initiative that began in 2008, the team removed over 6900 kilograms of garbage and 65 Kilos of human waste from above the base camp of the Everest. During the 2009 Everest expedition, Apa and his team placed consecrated vases containing holy water and precious metals specially blessed by a Buddhist incarnate Lama on the summit to help restore the sanctity of the Everest and other mountains of the Himalayas.
