The Denali Expedition team Tashi Sherpa,Nima Tenji Sherpa and Tenzeeng Sherpa had not summited the Cassin Ridge due to bad weather,heavy snowfall and fear of occurring avalanche in Cassin Ridge. There was heavy snowfall and bad weather during 16-19th June so they  tried for the summit on Cassin Ridge on 20th June but again the weather had not supported them. So after this attempt, they now tried to climb the Cassin Ridge through the way to West Rib so after getting to the Bottom 1 and Bottom 2 from the way of West Rib, the weather again did not supported them and there was even the fear of avalanche so they were again unable to summit the Mt. Denali through Cassin Ridge.

So after not being able to summit the Cassin ridge by many and different attempt, they now planned to climb the Mt. Denali through West Rib which was also not climbed by any Nepalese climbers till now. So on 22nd June 2016 at 10 pm(Alaska Local Time) Tashi,Nima and Tezeeng successfully and safely climbed the Mt. Denali through West Rib. So even they were not able to climb Mt. Denali through Cassin Ridge but the didn’t lose hope and climb the Mt. Denali through West Rib on 22nd June 2016.

There were 9 members in Denali Expedition in which 6 had gone through the West Buttress and 3(Tashi,Nima and Tenzeeng) had planned to climbed through Cassin Ridge. So only 3 members were success to climb the Mt. Denali through West Buttress whereas other 3 member where not able to climb through West Buttress due to the bad weather and heavy snowfall. Among the 3 member who were not success,2 members wants to climbed the Denali after the good weather as it was very important for them for their climbing record so Tashi Sherpa and Nima Tenji Sherpa after returning from the summit of West Rib they supported to those 2 member to summit Mt. Denali through West Buttress. So on 25th June 2016 at 9:50 pm(Alaska Local Time) Tashi, Nima with other 2 member had successfully climbed the Mt. Denali through West Buttress.

Though Tashi,Nima and Tenzeeng were not able to climb Mt. Denali through Cassin Ridge but they had climb the Mt. Denali through West Rib which was also not climbed by Any Nepali climbers. So now  they are  the first Nepalese climbers to summit Mt. Denali through West Rib.
