Nepalese Mountain Guide Pimba Tenjing Lama has successfully climbed Mt Aconcagua.
He is a recognized guide of the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations. He is working as a secretary at the Nepal National Mountain Guide Association - NNMGA.
Aconcagua (6962mtr) is the highest mountain in the South American continent.
The Aconcagua Mountain is located in the Argentine Republic, at 69º 59´ West longitude and 32º 39´ South latitude, in what is called Aconcagua Mountain Provincial Park in the province of Mendoza.
At nearly 7,000 m (23,000 ft), Aconcagua is the highest peak outside of Asia. It is believed to have the highest death rate of any mountain in South America around three a year — which has earned it the nickname "Mountain of Death". More than 100 people have died on Aconcagua since records began.
Earlier Nepalese Mountain Guide Pimba Tenjing Lama climbed Kilimanjaro 2 times. He has already climbed Mt Blanc in France, Bright Horn Mountain in Switzerland, and other mountains.
He started his climbing career in Rjukan, Telemark Norway in the winter of 2011 by climbing more than 400 waterfall ice routes. Support of Mountain People Organization Norway and D.D Swami K. helped for that mountaineering expedition.
