George Atkinson, a boy, who will be 17 on May 29th, summited Everest today and became the youngest British climber, who ascended Everest and also the youngest to finish the Carstensz-version of the Seven Summits!
It seems, that he will not keep the latter title for long, because US-boy Jordan Romero, who summited Everest last year plans to attempt his seventh summit Vinson by the end of the year and then will probably finish this version as well! He celebrates his 15th birthday in July!

Cleo Weidlich summited Kangchenjunga on May 20th at 7h48 am! She is now the first American woman, who was on top of this mountain! She reported by email:
"This was the strangest expedition ever, I'm glad it's over! I ruptured the parallel ligaments of my right knee at 8,500 and by the time I reached C4, I was snow blind as well. Needless to say, it was an epic descent... I made my way to C2 where I was rescued by a heli. A young man from Ireland, living in the UK, Anselm Murphy, guided me from C3 to C2. I was discharged today from the Norvic International hospital in Kathmandu."
It is her fifth Main-8000er after Cho Oyu, Everest, Gasherbrum I and Manaslu! |
