Adventure Consultants report on summits and people by 2016:

  • Da Jangbu Sherpa, Nepal, 13 summits
  • Pemba Chhoti Sherpa, Nepal, 11 summit
  • Kami Rita Sherpa, Nepal, 14 summits
  • Purba Chhoter Sherpa (Ang Jangbu), 8 summits
  • Chhewang Dorji Sherpa, Nepal, 9 summits
  • Chhiring (Tsering) Namgel Sherpa, Nepal, 4 summits
  • Da Thuk Bhote, Nepal, 3 summits
  • Passang Bhote, 7 summits
  • Nima Tsering, Nepal, 6 summits

It can be hard to determine who is who sometimes, as there are some similar names. For example in 2013 two different Kami Rita Sherpa high-altitude workers summited with different guide firms. Nepal may not issue summit certificates to Nepali who don't buy a permit. One problem firms must contend with is summit fraud attempts.
