After a record breaking spring season on Everest, the mountain will see no rest this summer and now autumn.<\/p>\n

summer:\u00a0Kilian Jornet<\/h3>\n

As I previously reported<\/a>, Spanish speed climber\u00a0Kilian Jornet<\/a>\u00a0will attempt to set a speed record by climbing from the\u00a0Rongbuk Monastery (Tibet) to the summit in a single push. He expects to take around 20 hours to summit and about 35 hours to descend. Kilian\u00a0and his three partners are already in Tibet. \u00a0He expects to start the climb in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

autumn:\u00a0Nobukazu Kuriki<\/h3>\n

And now Japanese climber,\u00a0Nobukazu Kuriki<\/a>, will return for his sixth\u00a0autumn (post-monsoon), no O’s, climbing alone,\u00a0attempt on Everest. His previous try have been met with drama and injury. He has lost nine fingers on Everest in 2012 during a thwarted attempt<\/a> on the West Ridge\u00a0of Everest.\u00a0In 2015, he reached a bit above the South Col before deep snow forced him to stop.<\/p>\n

Now at age 33, he will climb from the Tibet side.\u00a0You can follow him\u00a0on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> (EN), Twitter<\/a> (JP)and his website<\/a>. He always brings a large film crew along to document his experience, primarily for the Japanese market.<\/p>\n

Climbing alone is his “style” of climbing. He has solo climbs of McKinley (2004), Aconcagua, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro all in 2005 and Carstensz Pyramid in 2006. Plus these 8000m climbs: Cho Oyu (2007), Manaslu (2008), and Dhaulagiri (2009). He attempted Annapurna last spring without a summit due to weather.<\/p>\n

Kuriki has a loyal following in Japan and raised\u00a0over 20 million yen (USD $200, 000) on his crowdfunding<\/a> site.\u00a0You can read more about Kuriki at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are the stats for summer and autumn\u00a0attempts, so you can appreciate the difficulty of what these men are attempting. The last successful autumn summit was in 2010. For both of these climbers, the north side of Everest is\u00a0cold \u00a0and windy, even more so as winter approaches. In the end this may be the determining factor\u00a0for their summit.<\/p>\n

Best of luck to all,<\/p>\n
