Mountaineer Nimsdai "Nims" Purja sets three new world records on the world's highest peaks in just five days

He then returned with a summit plan of October 9^th, his second summit of Shishapangma in five days, to hit a new mountaineering milestone – 50 summits of the 8,000m mountains. He dedicated this 50^th summit to the UK, Nepal, the Gurkhas and UKSF.

Also standing on the summit on 9^th October was former British Commando Tejan Gurung, TJ, who completed his own 14 Peaks journey in 2 years 4 months 13 days, making him the youngest male British 14 peaks summiteer at just 29 years old.

Nims dedicated his 14 Peaks No O2 records to his family and to Anna Gutu and Mingmar Sherpa, who were tragically lost in 2023 when avalanches hit Shishapangma. Nims and his Elite Exped team were able to rescue and repatriate Anna and Mingmar in Spring 2024 and reunite them with their families.

He said: "I know Anna would have told me to come back and finish the mountain we started together, to show the world resilience and determination and to give her and Mingmar a fitting tribute and legacy – these new world records are dedicated to them, my family, and my dear mum and dad, who both sadly died after 2019.

"Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me since 2019 – I am truly grateful for your love and support. You are all forever part of these summits and successes.

"My mission has always been to raise the name of the Big Mountain communities, inspire people to believe in themselves and their dreams and to work hard to achieve their new possible."
