KUALA LUMPUR: Mountaineer Mohd Khafiz Bachok etched his name in history as one of the few Malaysians to have conquered Mount Everest , achieving the feat at 2.25am Nepal time on Monday .
According to a Facebook post by expedition organiser AltiPro Adventures, Mohd Khafiz scaled the world's tallest mountain, standing at 8,848.86m, together with Mongolian climber Munkhuu Myagmar and Sherpa guides Mingma Dorchi Sherpa and Karma Gyalje Sherpa. Another summit group comprising Australian climber Jennifer Claire Willis, as well as Nepalese Phunjo Jangmu Lama, Mingma Nurbu Sherpa and Pastenji Sherpa reached the summit 10 minutes later.
