Asa, often called 'super Sherpa' , who conquered Mount Everest for the first time in 1989 said, he was very worried about the snow disappearing at the top of this mountain.
'In 1989 when I first climbed Everest, there was a lot of snow and ice there, but now there's almost no stone left. This makes rocks often fall so it is dangerous for climbers, " Sherpa said.
'Climbers often use spiked shoes to climb on ice. But walking on rocks with this shoe is very slippery and dangerous. '
Apa grew up at the foot of Mount Everest and began to carry equipment and equipment for climbers since he was 12 years old. Last year, Apa broke its own record of climbing Mount Everest with its 21st climb.
Ice and snow on Mount Everest are getting less and less, making climbing more dangerous.
Apa has long been involved in the movement to raise awareness about the degeneration in the Himalayas due to climate warming and other issues.
Apa moved to the United States in 2006 and lived there until now.
