Adventure Consultants report on summits and people by 2016:
* Da Jangbu Sherpa, Nepal, 13 summits
* Pemba Chhoti Sherpa, Nepal, 11 summit
* Kami Rita Sherpa, Nepal, 14 summits
* Purba Chhoter Sherpa (Ang Jangbu), 8 summits
* Chhewang Dorji Sherpa, Nepal, 9 summits
* Chhiring (Tsering) Namgel Sherpa, Nepal, 4 summits
* Da Thuk Bhote, Nepal, 3 summits
* Passang Bhote, 7 summits
* Nima Tsering, Nepal, 6 summits
It can be hard to determine who is who sometimes, as there are some similar names. For example in 2013 two different Kami Rita Sherpa high-altitude workers summited with different guide firms. Nepal may not issue summit certificates to Nepali who don't buy a permit. One problem firms must contend with is summit fraud attempts.
