Shambu Tamang

Shambu "Shambhu" Tamang was a Nepalese mountaineer who once held the record as the youngest person to successfully climb Mount Everest, reaching the summit on May 5, 1973. There were discrepancies in previous records regarding his exact age at the time of the climb; while most sources claimed he was 16, it is now believed he was 17 years old. Tamang's record was surpassed in May 2001 by Temba Tsheri.
Tamang, who had since repeated his ascent of the summit from northern side, owned a trekking company in Kathmandu.
