Report from Nims Purja after the team reached the summit of K2, the first time this has ever been achieved in winter!
"THE IMPOSSIBLE IS MADE POSSIBLE ! K2 winter - History made for mankind, History made for Nepal !
At 17:00 hrs local time @nimsdai and team summited K2, teaming up with Mingma G and team and a member from SST, Sona Sherpa.
A very special moment. The whole team waited 10m below the summit to form a group then stepped onto the summit together whilst singing our Nepalese National Anthem . We are proud to have been a part of history for humankind and to show that collaboration, teamwork and a positive mental attitude can push limits to what we feel might be possible.
