On top of Mt. Everest ! Almost :) It was a pleasant surprise for me when expert Nepalese climber Mingma David Sherpa chose to carry and read through my book ‘Doglapan’ on his recent ascent to mighty Mt. Everest. The guy is a mountaineering legend. Inspired to try the Everest Base Camp climb or a more achievable peak with him in near future - under his tutelage. Mingma David Sherpa Penguin India Penguin Books

There’s this video going around about cut ropes on Everest which some climbers were reportedly warned about on Sunday by the Peak Promotion team who were up doing body retrievals. Other Sherpa guides talk about what they saw too. The controversy erupted following the successful summits of Everest and Lhotse by Nimsdai Purja and his team. What should have been a moment of celebration turned into a need to address accusations and misunderstandings about the incident involving cut ropes on Everest. Here is a timeline of events. Sunday, 26th May: Nims and his team ascended from Camp 2 to Camp 3. During their climb a manager from another expedition team involved in a rescue mission higher up Everest radioed a warning. They informed Nims that ropes had been deliberately cut just below the South Summit, above the balcony. This dangerous act forced them to abandon their mission. Nims' team received this warning through the radio which was captured in their first video. Monday, 27th May: Undeterred, Nims and his team continued their summit push. True to the warning, they found the ropes were indeed cut at the specified location but being experienced climbers they adapted by fixing new ropes which allowed them to continue safely. The team successfully reached the summit and returned without further incident. This second video they shared shows the cut ropes corroborating their initial report.

On May 18th, 2023, while leading a Chinese climber toward the summit of Mount Everest, Gelje Sherpa discovered a stranded Malaysian climber on the verge of death. To save the climber’s life, Gelje persuaded his Chinese client to end his summit and descend to the Everest Base Camp, allowing him to focus on saving the stranded Malaysian climber’s life. He wrapped him in a sleeping mattress, gave him oxygen, put him on his back, and hiked him 6 hours down the mountain to safety.

That’s us setting off from Everest base camp for our summit push this evening (20th May) at 11pm local Nepalese time (NPT). I will also be doing an X live at around 11pm just before we set off through the Khumbu Icefall to camp 1, where I’ll be starting the stop watch in front of you all to see how long it’s take to get to the summit of Mount Everest. I’ll give live updates along the way where possible but you tell me… How many days will it take me and my son to go from Everest basecamp to the Summit? Polymarket have the odds, check them out…

Chinese high-altitude photographer Ma Chunlin captured an incredible two-minute and twenty-six-second #video filmed in a single take with a drone, showcasing the journey from #Everest Base Camp (EBC) to the summit. Remarkably, Chunlin made this ascent in just fifteen minutes! The footage was recorded between 6:55 and 7:10 a.m. on May 19, after he identified the ideal window of opportunity based on the perfect combination of #space, time, and #weather conditions. Typically, permission to fly #drones from the north side of Everest (Tibet) is not granted, but Chunlin managed to overcome this challenge. In a previous #attempt in 2024, his #drone had been destroyed by a heavy snowstorm near Camp 3, but he refused to give up. Enjoy this breathtaking video!

This is Camp IV on Mt #Everest (8848.86 m) late April, 2024. It's high time we address this issue with urgency and commitment. Let's demand stricter regulations, enforcement of clean climbing practices, and effective waste management strategies.
