KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A 15-year-old Nepali schoolboy seeking to become the youngest person to climb Everest said on Tuesday he hoped he would inspire children to climb mountains. Arbin Timilsina, who has Nepali government permission to make the attempt in the current spring climbing season, wants to stand on top of the world‘s tallest peak before he is 16. "There is no time. I have to rush," said Timilsina, who reaches 16 in June. He was born on June 16, 1983 and goes to school in his home town in Pokhara, 200 km west of the Himalayan kingdom‘s capital, Kathmandu. A Nepali climber, Shambu Tamang, holds the record of the youngest person to scale the 8,848-metre mountain, accomplishing the feat in 1973 when 17 years old. Timilsina, youngest of his parents‘ three children, said his inspiration is Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, the first Nepali woman to climb Everest in 1993. She died on the mountain while descending from the summit. "There is risk but you have to be careful not to commit mistakes," Timilsina said of Everest. The manager of Timilsina‘s expedition, Padam K.C., said three experienced sherpa climbers would accompany the boy, who has no previous climbing experience but has trained rigorously in Nepal and neighbouring India. Two of the sherpas have climbed Everest. After Everest, Timilsina wants to study physics, but "climbing will continue to remain as my hobby". He said he had mastered climbing techniques and would use bottled oxygen above Camp III, which is to be pitched at about 7,300m on the west face of Lhotse, another giant mountain neighbouring Everest. Everest is on Nepal‘s northern borders with China and is open to mountain climbers from both sides. A total of 808 people have already reached the top of the mountain, which was first conquered by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in May 29, 1953. The mountain has claimed 161 lives, including 101 on the Nepali side.
