Nima Rinji Sherpa, 18, aims to become the youngest to climb all 14 mountains over 8,000 metres. His final challenge is Shishapangma in Tibet. Mountaineering, for Nima, is a sport and job rather than just a passion. With his father's support, who runs a major expedition company, Nima is well-prepared physically and mentally. He hopes his achievements will inspire others and elevate mountaineering to a recognised professional sport.
