• Kristin 🇳🇴 and Tenjen (Lama) 🇳🇵 made their final climb of K2, finishing the 14 8000ers in a record 92 days! This achievement amazed the world, as it seemed impossible. The duo climbed an 8000er in just 7 days on average.

The project of 14th - 8000ers was led by .harila and .tenjen , achieving this historic feat:

However, fate had a sad turn. Lama, who had made over 30 successful climbs of 8000ers, was tragically lost on Shishapangma on 7 October 2023, marking the end of an era. Lama was one of the best guides of the SST family. His humility, kindness, and dedication were key to our expeditions. Farewell, Lama. You are dearly missed! 💔
