The climbing leader of EEE 2011, Apa who first climbed Mt. Qomolangma on May 10, 1990 broke his own previous record made on May 21, 2010. Under the banner of EEE 2011, Apa carried the message of "Stop Climate Change".

"He joined Eco Everest for his 18th, 19th, 20thand 21st Summit of Mt. Qomolangma in 2008, 2009, 2010and 2011," Ang Tshering Sherpa said in a release issued by Asian Trekking. "Apa said that he is committed to support the efforts of Dawa Steven Sherpa, leader of the EEE to bring awareness to the world community about Climate Change and to help remove old garbage from the slopes," he quoted Apa as saying in his release.

Apa Sherpa was accompanied by EEE 2011 members Chris Shumate (49 years) of United States of America, Bruno Gremior (39 years) of Switzerland together with four High Altitude Climbing Sherpas, Ang Dawa Sherpa, Phurba Sherpa and Arita Sherpa, stood on the top of Mt. Qomolangma. They had left Camp IV (7950 meters) on Tuesday night.

The sponsors of this year's Eco Everest Expedition 2011 "Cash for Trash" garbage collection program are Asian Trekking Private Limited and The North Face.

Eco Everest Expedition, a campaign to clean garbage compiled in Mt. Qomolangma was initiated with the leadership of Dawa Steven Shepra in 2008.

Until the date, EEE campaign has brought down to base camp more than 13,500 kg of garbage for proper disposal left by previous expedition teams.

In addition wreckage parts of the Italian Army helicopter were also recovered from the edge of the Khumbu Icefall. The helicopter crashed between Camp I (6100 meters) and Camp II (6500 meters) during the Italian Everest Expedition in 1973, according to the release. This probably demonstrates the movement of the Khumbu Icefall 1.3 km over the past 36 years.

They also collected more than 400 kg of human waste produce by Eco Everest Expedition and four died bodies recovered and brought down from the mountain for a dignified burial. Still the "Cash for Trash" clean up campaign is going on until the end of this climbing season of this year

At Base Camp, the collected garbage will be sorted into biodegradable and burnable which will be handed over to the Everest Pollution Control Committee, an NGO based in the Everest region. Thenon-degradable and non-burnable garbage will be brought to storage in Asian Trekking's warehouse in Khumjung village.
