🏔️ FIRST SUMMIT ON EVEREST THIS SEASON – ROPE FIXING MISSION COMPLETED!
🎉 Congratulations to the Entire Rope Fixing Team
📅 13 May, 2026
A historic moment on Mt. Everest!
Led by Mingtemba Sherpa, the 2026 Everest rope-fixing team successfully reached the summit of Mt. Everest this morning at around 10:25 AM, completing one of the most important and challenging missions of the climbing season.
With the ropes now fixed all the way to the summit, climbers from around the world can begin their summit rotations toward the top of the world.
This season started with major challenges after the route through the Khumbu Icefall was blocked. However, thanks to the unity, coordination, and hard work of the expedition operators and fixing team members, the route was successfully opened and today’s achievement became possible.
We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations and respect to all the Sherpa climbers and support teams involved in this incredible achievement. Your dedication, strength, and professionalism continue to inspire the entire mountaineering community.
Wishing all climbers and expedition teams a safe and successful Everest season ahead. May the mountain be kind to everyone. 🙏
