Everest 2025: Lhotse Summits, Everest Soon & Anticipation
Manage episode 481452995 series 2964491
The last few days of low winds have allowed the rope fixing teams to make excellent progress. The rope team from 8K Expeditions summited Lhotse this afternoon, May 8, 2025, marking the first summits of the year. A separate team from 8K will summit Everest tomorrow. This opens the season to the plethora of climbers already staged at Camp 2, just waiting for this event.
The Tibetan rope-fixing team has reached 7900 meters or higher on the Tibetan side. I anticipate they will summit over the weekend.
Also, a narrative on the anticipation of summiting. #everest2025
Climb On!
