Everest summits
Luitel made his first attempt to climb Mount Everest in 2015, which failed due to the massive avalanche caused by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake. Two of his teammates were killed in the avalanche.[3]
On 21 May 2016, at the age of 22, Luitel summited Mount Everest from the south side becoming the first Scout from Nepal to summit Mount Everest. In this successful attempt, he brought the flag of the Northern Star Council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) along with him. Anish also summited with the 100-year Anniversary flag of the BSA, which is displayed at the Northern Star Council.[4]
On 14 May 2018, he climbed solo from the north side carrying the flag of the 2019 World Scout Jamboree, marking the first time the flag had been flown on Mount Everest in the history of Scouting.[5][6][7]
In 2018 Anish became the 543rd person and first Boy Scout to summit Everest from both the north and south side.[8]
