Achieving this milestone at the age of 18 years, 5 months, and 21 days, Nima completed his record-breaking accomplishment over a period of just 740 days. He reached his final summit on October 9, 2024, at Shishapangma (8,027 m) in China, marking the last of the fourteen highest mountains in the world. Nima embarked on his high-altitude climbing career at 16, with his first 8,000-meter summit of Manaslu on September 30, 2022. This came shortly after he had completed his 10th-grade exams. Nima's achievement breaks the previous record held by Mingma David Sherpa, who completed all 14 peaks at the age of 30.
