Weird how I found this question; nonetheless up to 2011 everest season there are no record of sri lankan summit or in that matter any 8000er or 7000er. farthest record I know is of a Sri Lankan reaching the ABC and Mera peak in Nepal.
But there are 3 parties trying to lead an expedition from Sri Lanka.
Cheers!
