Nirmal Purja reached the top of his 14th mountain, Shishapangma in China, on Tuesday morning. Purja, 36, joined the British Army in 2003 and became a Royal Marine in 2009.
His climbing career began when he walked to Everest base camp in 2012 and, instead of returning as planned, decided to climb the entire mountain.
He was already the holder of numerous records - including the fastest "double-header" of two mountains higher than 8,000 metres - and was awarded the MBE, a civilian honour, by the Queen in 2018.
