Everest 2022: Summit Wave 5 – Update 3

OK, we have at least 35 more summits this Sunday morning, May 15, 2022 with still more to come.

A true record: Kenton Cool just got his 16th Everest summit breaking Dave Hahn’s long-standing 15. A non-Sherpa record. And South African Pierre Carter flew his paraglider from the South Col to Gorak Shep.

IMG had more success on Everest. They use beyuladventure.com as their logistics partner in Nepal.

Teams have left the South Col for their summit push this Saturday, May 15, 2022. This in as the Madison Mountaineering group was leaving: 

Hello!  This is Terray calling in for the Madison Mountaineering Mount Everest and Lhotseexpedition.  It’s May 13th.

We are just going to bed in preparation for the first day of our summit push, which will actually start at about 1am tonight.  We’ll have breakfast at midnight and then we’ll set off out up into the Icefalland on to Camp 2 (6500m/21,325ft).  From there we plan to take a rest day and then we will start making up the Lhotse Face to Camp 3 (7230m/23,720ft) and Camp 4 (7900m/25,919ft) and hopefully on to the summit (8848m/29,029ft) in a little less than a week.  The forecast looks good and spirits are high with the team.  Everyone’s pysched to get going and start our summit push. So, it’s good night here in base camp and we’re looking forward to getting the climbing started. We will be in touch as we make our way up the mountain!

And from Summit Climb:

three of our Everest members and 3 Sherpas are now in Everest High Camp. They plan to begin their ascent to the summit of Everest at 7pm, which is just a few hours from now. We wish them all of the best and will keep you updated.
