Made it to the summit of the world's 8th highest Mountain Manaslu on 30th Sept at 9:00 am. Once again Thank you to Tashi Lakpa Sherpa dai 14 Peaks Expedition/Seven Summit Treks for this big opportunity. Also did the summit with worlds youngest 16 years to climb Manaslu Nimrin Sherpa who is on target to do 14 peaks. He will be the first teenager to complete the 14 peaks.

This season weather was a big challenge, lots of climbers already gave up. We fall under the very few people to do the summit this season.

We started our summit push from camp 1 early morning and rested a few hours in camp 3 and started walking at night 9:00 pm for the summit. The weather was not good when we reached camp 4 at 2:00 am. We decided to wait there for a few minutes and decide whether to go up or down. Giving up was not an option. We barely could feel our cheeks because of the high wind.

Our summit day was planned by Tashi Lakpa Sherpa and the weather was confirmed to be good. Slowly we started to move despite the wind, slowly the sun rose and the weather was good. We successfully did the summit and returned back to Manaslu base camp. Almost all the members from 14 Peaks Expedition were successful for the summit.
