Mountaineering authorities in Nepal want to ban nudity and 'obscene record' bids on Mount Everest.

A Nepali climber claimed the world's highest display of nudity on the world's highest mountain last year.

He disrobed for several minutes on the 29,035ft summit in temperatures about -10C, reports Metro.

"There should be strict regulations to discourage such attempts by climbers," said Ang Tshering, president of Nepal Mountaineering Association.

Other record-setting attempts that sparked controversy included a Dutch man who attempted to scale the peak wearing only shorts.

Locals worship the mountain as a god and mountaineering authorities have asked the government to ban disrespectful stunts on Everest, Tshering said.

Mount Everest has always attracted record-setters, including the oldest climber (71 years old), the youngest climber (15 years old), the first climber with one foot and the first blind climber.
