| Route Notes | From Imagine Nepal FB pages: March 20, 2025 On March 19, the Imagine Nepal Annapurna Expedition team successfully fixed ropes to Camp III at an altitude of 6500 meters, overcoming one of the most challenging sections of their climb. The team, which consists of eight Chinese climbers and ten experienced Sherpas, arrived at Annapurna Base Camp on March 10 after a week of trekking and training. Following a traditional Puja ceremony to seek blessings, they completed an acclimatization rotation up to Camp II at 5500 meters. Currently back at Base Camp, the team is resting and closely monitoring the weather conditions. They anticipate making a summit push within the next ten days, depending on the availability of a suitable weather window. We wish the entire team the best of luck and would like to congratulate all the team members on their achievements so far. April 6, 2025 We’re thrilled to announce that on April 6, 2025, at 10:10 AM (Nepal time), our Imagine Nepal team successfully made the first 8000-meter summit of the Spring 2025 season! Summit Team: - Mr. Zhao YiYi (China) - Mr. Dipan Gurung (Nepal) - Mr. Phinjo Dorjee Sherpa (Nepal) The summit of Annapurna-I wasn’t easy—it came after an earlier attempt on March 26 was called off due to harsh weather above 7500m. After weeks of acclimatization and rotations starting March 10, the team pushed forward with determination, ultimately reaching the top during their second summit push. Imagine Nepal also proudly took the lead in fixing the ropes on Annapurna-I this year, guiding the path for all future climbers this season. Congratulations to our entire team for their resilience and leadership on one of the most dangerous 8000ers in the world! |
