As we close out 2025, I caught up with Garrett Maddison, founder of Madison Mountaineering<\/a>, for a rare moment while he was home in the Seattle area. Garrett summited all of the Seven Summits (Messner List) in 2025, plus had some interesting times on Cho Oyu, watched one of his teams struggle, like the others, on K2, and is actively guiding on Vinson. We discussed all this, including what to expect for Everest in 2026, with the more expensive permit fees, new requirements for Everest applicants from China, and proposals from Nepal.<\/p>\n

You can follow Madison on their website<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and IG<\/a>.<\/p>\n
