Climbing Annapurna: A Journey of Leadership Reflecting back, this avalanche was the exact reason for my decision NOT to take the normal route up Annapurna. Annapurna was the first mountain of the project Possible, and it wasn’t only this avalanche that presented hurdles. The long summit push in waist-deep snow, the rescues, and my team being in charge of fixing the lines all played a role. I realize how pivotal that moment was. As a leader, whether on the mountain or in life, I know every choice carries immense weight. One wrong decision could be catastrophic. During my career within the Gurkhas and UKSF/SBS, especially on operations, I learned that 100% commitment is essential, and I carry that mantra as a major principle in my life. After this avalanche, the next morning, I flew my drone to scout the mountain, using skills I developed in the special forces. With no filming crew or high-altitude cameras, it was just me and my determination. Choosing the Dutch Rib route, which had never been completed before, faced skepticism. Many said it was impossible, but I was driven by a greater purpose. We managed to push through, fixed the lines not only for our team but for the rest of the season's climbers, and reached the summit, proving that with dedication and hard work, the impossible can become reality. For me, leadership is about integrity and commitment. Every decision I make is for the team and the mission. After leading over 200 successful expeditions during and after my military career, I cannot emphasize the importance of always giving 100%. The lessons learned along the way are crucial for making it safe. As you all know, I’m a big fan of both summit and safety; they go hand in hand with my expeditions. My 52 successful ascents of 8000m peaks, while guiding and leading the team, speak volumes about the power of collaboration and shared goals. Here’s to embracing challenges and making every decision count 🙌🏽🙏🏽 #50plus8000msummits #MotivationalSpeaker #higgest8ksummitswithno02 #firstk2wintersummitnoo2 #nimsdai

14 PEAKS NO O2 – Forever grateful for your support. On 4th, I stood on the summit of Shishapangma along with the fixing team from Mingma G – a poignant and heartfelt moment I am still trying to find the words for. After 14 Peaks I wanted to continue to motivate and inspire and show that there are always more things to achieve and do in life. I dedicate this climb and new records to the memory of my dear mum and dad and Anna and Mingmar. I now become the fastest person to climb all 14 Peaks without supplementary oxygen (2 years 4 months and 28 days) as well as the fastest person to climb 14 Peaks with both O2 and no O2 together – in 5 years, 5 months and 12 days (23rd April 2019 to 4th October 2024.) I’m so proud to have stood on the summit with my brother and K2Winter legend Ming Ma.g – who completes his 14 Peaks no O2 mission too – we become the first Nepalese to achieve this! (Tribute post incoming soon on this legend!) No competition, just teamwork and huge respect! My mission has always been to raise the name of Nepal and all the Big Mountain climbing community and to inspire people across the world to know that nothing is impossible. Even if you have the most humble background, if you work hard and dream big, you can achieve your dreams. It is a privilege to represent the mountaineering community in this and achieve these new records. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and shown my team love – I am so grateful. You are all forever part of these summits and successes! #14peaksnoo2 #nimsdai #eliteexped #Shishapangma #sevensummits #nimsdaifoundation #k2winter #nimsdaistore #14Peaks #AchieveYourNewPossible #NothingIsImpossible #14PeaksNothingIsImpossible #Gurkha #BeyondPossible #MotivationalSpeaker

BIG MOUNTAINS NEED BIG ACTION. This was K2 last year when our Nimsdai Foundation team, led by Elite Exped went to do the #BigMountainCleanUp. Yes, it is shocking. However, high altitude waste is a complex issue – some of it has been here decades. Waste and rubbish is a huge worldwide issue. From the plastics in the ocean to the land and rubbish clogging fields and hedges to the pollutants in the air and of course, on the mountain. We all need to play our small part in tackling this, and raising awareness globally. As a UNEP Mountain Advocate, I am proud to help raise awareness of the #BeatPlasticPollution movement – a campaign designed to raise the issue of waste from the grassroots to the Government and international level. The Big Mountain Clean Up is us playing our small part to protect and preserve these beautiful mountains not just for our generation but for generations to come. My Elite Exped team follow ‘clean as you go’ and ‘leave no trace’ protocols on all expeds and they are working with the Foundation and local guides to return to K2 this season to clean further. One key mission will be removing old ropes – these can be deadly if climbers accidently clip on to them. I believe that by working together we can bring about positive and lasting change. Part of that has to be education throughout all of society from people to Governments about waste and its effects on our home the Earth.

Nangaparbat ✅ 9. Annapurna ✅ 10. Gasherbrum 1 ✅ 11. Broad - Peak ✅ 12. Gasherbrum II ✅ Remaining: 1. Cho oyu 2. Shishapangma When I achieve Cho Oyu and Shishapangma this coming autumn, I will be the fastest human to climb all 14 Peaks without 02( *not to mentioned whilist leading and guiding expedition at the same time). When you climb just for yourself it’s one thing - but when you lead the whole exped, it’s another level. You need to ensure all your team members not only summit but also that they are safe. And this takes a lot out of you. Big thanks to everyone who has joined Elite Exped and given me this amazing opportunity whilst getting paid and achieving an incredible human feat. 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️ You all know who you are 👊🏽💥 I’m looking forward to guiding those folks who are joining me on Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua. Actually it’s my down time! 😉❤️ There are a few spaces remaining, so if you fancy having the experience of climbing with me, here’s who you need to get in touch with - infoElite Exped.com Copyright: Nirmal Purja MBE #eliteexped #nimsdai #14peaks #14peaksnothingisimpossible #achieveyournewpossible #nothingisimpossible #nims #nimspurja #14peaks6months #beyondpossible #k2winter #k2firstascentnoo2 #uksf #club8000ers #everest #k2 #k2winter #aboveandbeyondadventure

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb gets visibly uncomfortable on CNBC as Joe Kernen keeps hammering him over Anthony Fauci. Gottlieb does his best to skirt the questions about his former colleague, but Kernen refuses to let him off the hook. KERNEN: “Does having a reputation totally in the toilet at 85 years…does that hold him to account for what he was responsible for?” GOTTLIEB: “The Tony Fauci I saw in those emails is not the Tony Fauci I knew over the years. I mean, he was a guy who was sober, who was careful about his public appearances and his statements. Was always very careful, always very thoughtful.” KERNEN: “Did you figure out the obsession with mainstream media in defending him?” “And, you know, Jake Tapper having, you know, multiple dinners and best friends? And what did that come from? And I know people around here that would call Tony Fauci a ‘hero.’” GOTTLIEB: “Yeah, I can’t dissect how people perceived…” KERNEN: “You don’t know why?” “The whole vaccine, mask, shutdown…the whole liberal…” GOTTLIEB: “It was a difficult time, Joe, as you…as you know very well. And I think people were looking for a voice that they can cling to. Maybe they picked the wrong voice.” KERNEN: “I am science, that’s why people don’t like me…I mean, that was…” “You’re very guarded and nice.” GOTTLIEB: “I was disappointed by the emails, I have to admit.” KERNEN: “Well, we’ll see what happens on Wednesday. Rand Paul’s been right all along!” GOTTLIEB: “He’s held the…I suspect that Senator Paul held on to these emails and had them for a while, and dropped them now ahead of this hearing.” “And, you know, Tony’s going to have to speak to what’s in those private communications.” KERNEN: “Thanks for addressing all that…” [Gottlieb gives an awkward chuckle]

Sunil Chhetri is more than a name in Indian football—he is a legend who brought the sport into homes across the country and inspired millions to believe in Indian football. Born on 3 August 1984, Chhetri is India’s all-time highest goal scorer and the player with the most international appearances. As captain and striker of the national team, he became the backbone of Indian football, leading with skill, discipline, and unwavering determination. For years, he ranked among the world’s top active international goal scorers, standing just behind global icons like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi—a remarkable feat for an Indian footballer. Under his leadership, India achieved historic milestones: winning the Nehru Cup, SAFF Championship, and AFC Challenge Cup. At the club level, he elevated Bengaluru FC, helping the team earn recognition both domestically and internationally. Chhetri’s journey extended beyond India, with professional stints in the MLS (USA) and Portugal, paving the way for future Indian footballers to dream big abroad. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the Padma Shri and multiple AIFF Player of the Year titles. But his true legacy goes beyond trophies and records—it lies in his discipline, leadership, fitness, and the inspiration he provides to young athletes.
