Kanchha Sherpa was a teenager when he accompanied the historic 1953 team led by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.
His grandson Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa confirmed that Kanchha had been unwell for a few days before his passing.
He undertook the arduous trek lasting more than two weeks to Mount Everest’s Base Camp while carrying food, tents and equipment.
Fur Gelje Sherpa, president of Nepal’s mountaineering association, described him as a living legend and inspiration for all in mountaineering.
His family said this request came after many of his friends died while assisting other climbing treks in the dangerous mountains. – AFP
