🚨BREAKING: American endurance athlete Tyler Andrews officially called off his highly anticipated Everest Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt on May 24, 2026, turning around near the Balcony at 8,500 meters.
After leaving Base Camp on May 23 for a no-oxygen run, a mid-route weather shift forced Andrews to pivot to an oxygen-assisted speed bid.
Realizing the record was out of reach, Andrews aborted the push, but ground teams confirm he is already planning a fresh, no-O2 attempt later this week.
