What an incredible last few days for our first summit team. 

Summiting in great weather, watching the sunrise from the top of the world, creating friendships that will last a lifetime, experiencing the power and beauty of the world’s tallest peak, and most importantly, feeling what it’s like to walk safely back into Everest Base Camp after a successful climb. 

Once again, huge congrats to the climbers. To the climbers and their families and friends – thank you for trusting CTSS to support you in this massive goal. 

The team is all back at Everest Base Camp, celebrating their achievements, including Tendi Sherpa, below, who just completed his 16th summit on Mount Everest.

Some climbers will helicopter out to get back to friends and family (and newfound fame), while others will relish walking back down the Khumbu Balley slowly with their teammates. Either way, they will have memories that will last a lifetime.
