Nepal Bids Farewell To Kancha Sherpa, The Last Living Member Of Everest’s 1953 Expedition With State Honor
Legendary Nepali climber Kancha Sherpa, the last living member of the first expedition of Mount Everest in 1953, is cremated with state honor at a crematorium in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 20, 2025. Sherpa breathes his last at the age of 92 at his private residence in Kathmandu. He is a member of the expedition team of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. He spends his final days in his ancestral home in Namche Bazaar, the gateway to Everest. Born in 1932 in Namche, Kancha Sherpa begins his mountaineering journey at the age of 19 when he runs away from home to Darjeeling in search of work. There, he meets Tenzing Norgay, who recognizes him as the son of a fellow mountaineer from the 1952 Everest expedition from Tibet. Impressed by his dedication, Tenzing helps him join Sir Edmund Hillary's 1953 expedition as one of 103 Sherpas, earning five rupees a day. Kancha Sherpa continues to work on mountaineering expeditions until 1973, before retiring at the request of his wife. He later works with trekking groups, guiding trekkers through the Himalaya without venturing to extreme altitudes. Kancha Sherpa does not reach the summit, but he plays a crucial role in the success of the expedition. He climbs as far as the last camp, currently the South Summit.

'Ecureuils' ('Squirrels') Accupy Again Trees To Be Cut In Protest Against The Planned A69 Highway
'Ecureuils' set up their encampment in one of the plane trees to be cut in Vendine. Since 3 a.m. this morning, four 'Ecureuils' (i.e., 'squirrels') from the GNSA ('National Group of Trees Watching' founded by Thomas Brail, the activist and arborist-climber) occupy two plane trees in Vendine, Haute-Garonne, to block their cutting for works on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, and Castres, Tarn. They deploy a banner on Article 2 of the constitutional law about preserving the environment. Initially, only two plane trees are to be cut, but finally, about 10 plane trees will be cut. 'Ecureuils' plan to stay until NGE/Atosca explains the necessity of the cutting and consider going on trial about these planned cuttings. The concessionaire of the A69, NGE/Atosca, repeatedly says that all trees have already been cut for the A69. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') and other opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. Toulouse, Vendine, France, on August 28, 2025. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto) -
