14peaks

Norwegian climber Kristin Harila and her climbing companion Tenjen Sherpa aka Lama summited all 14 peaks above 8000m in 92 days, exactly half the time of the current record of the fastest climb of 14 peaks by Nirmal Pujra Nimsdai.

Dawa Ongju Sherpa shares his experience of leading 12 expeditions back-to-back for Kristin Harila, and about the recent developments about his 14 peak dream.

Cho Oyu is the only remaining peak to summit for her to join the 14 peak club

Norwegian Kristin Harila scales 11 peaks above 8,000m in 106 days, becoming the first female climber to do so. Less than a week after scaling GII, Kristin and her climbing companions, Pasdawa Sherpa and Dawa Ongju Sherpa, scaled GI.

Pakistani Shehroze Kashif and Taiwanese Grace Tseng, both in pursuit of 14 peaks record, successfully climbed Gasherbrum II on Monday.

The 21-year-old British climber has completed eight of 14 peaks so far.

Kristin on Sunday stood atop the world highest peak at 8.30 am. On the same day, she reached the summit of the fourth highest peak at 5.50 pm, becoming the first climber to summit five peaks above 8,000 meters in 24 days.

The 21-year-old mountaineer is hoping to become the youngest person to reach all 14 summits above 8000m. The record is held by Mingma Gyabu Sherpa, who summited 14 8000ers at the age of 30 years.
