Mission Possible - 14 Peaks
I watched this on Netflix the other day & recommend it to anyone with a remote interest in mountaineering, or any form of extreme human endeavour.
Nims Purja is Nepalese mountaineer who seeks out to climbing fourteen of the world’s 8,000m high mountains in just 7 months during 2019. It's was just an almost unbelievable thing to try. The previous record was 7 years.
The film is really good, but if anything, it doesn't quite do justice to the achievement. He climbed Everest, Lhotse and Makalu in just 48 hours!
Bremont were key sponsors.
In 2021, Nims Purja & his team were first summit K2 in winter. Nims was the only one to do so without supplemental oxygen & is I believe the only person ever to have achieved that regardless of the time of year.

I’ve got it on now. Incredible stuff. Unless I missed it at the time I can’t understand why it wasn’t all over the news.

I get that bit. That however should be no reason and he also served in our armed forces.
