“From the Roof of the World. After a successful rotation up to Camp 3, all SummitClimb Everest team members are now safely back at Base Camp (EBC). Spirits are high and the summit is closer than ever! Some climbers are descending to Namche Bazaar for recovery and better acclimatization, while others remain at EBC, laser-focused on the final summit push.”

“Summit Team 1 is back at Everest Base Camp after a successful rotation to Camp 3!
They pushed through the notorious Khumbu Icefall and tackled part of the Lhotse Face—an intense climb that tested every ounce of grit.
5 days on the mountain, and now back safe, exhausted, and proud. The summit push is getting closer.
Good luck to the Summit Team 2 who will be departing for their camp 3 rotation shortly.”

“Namaste from Everest Basecamp! I’ve just returned from an incredible 7-day rotation journey between 19k and 23.5k, and I’m eager to share my inspiring experiences with you. Rest assured, I’m safe and sound. Keep your eyes peeled for new posts.”

“We just returned to our home in BC today, we spent 1 night in C1 and 4 nights in C2. We altitude acclimatized to C3 at 7100m elevation and returned from there. Weather conditions were favorable. We are now resting up for the summit.
We went through Khumbu Icefall and Western Cwm on our final rotation. The area around the Lhotse Face was less exposed blue ice than in previous years. There was fresh snow on it, so it was in good condition for climbing up and down. All these routes were made clear and safe thanks to the work of our esteemed staff. Respect and appreciation to the Khumbu Icefall Doctors and the Route Fix team.”

“Rotation 2 up Everest…
I can’t speak, literally and metaphorically.
That was rough but felt like i was literally floating and living in a childhood fantasy.
Crossing the mighty and dangerous khumbu icefall was breathtaking and not for the faint hearted and to reach camp 1 and 2 and to gaze up at them giants was humbling.
Now safely back and down below to try and get my voice back and rest as much as possible and pray for the weather window to open
To actually be here, after over 13,000km I feel beyond lucky.
Now actually being closer to the heavens than I have ever been in my life, I can hear my dad whispering in my ear louder then ever ‘ your nearly there boy’ “
