Record-Breaking Duo: Norwegian Woman and Nepali Sherpa Conquer 14 Highest Peaks in 92 Days

Kristin Harila and Tenjen Sherpa successfully summited K2, facing hazardous conditions including heavy snow and slab avalanches. Harila missed her self-imposed deadline to climb all 14×8,000’ers within three months by just one day. Other teams, including Furtenbach Adventures and Madison Mountaineering, aborted their summit attempts due to dangerous avalanche conditions. Over 40 climbers from 8K Expeditions and Summit Karakoram reached the summit, while Imagine Nepal put a nine-person team on the summit. Nearly 200 climbers are currently queuing up on the fixed ropes, and conditions remain challenging with heavy snow and the need to go all the way to Camp 3 for supplies.
