About this deal

Being a citizen of Nepal people from outside might think every Nepali can see Mt. Everest from their balcony, or have climbed it. As you might know, considering you're Nepali, it's rarely the case. I had never given much thought about mountain climbing, what it took to do it, what difficulties people faced; it looked like a walk in the park from all the footages Nepal Television showed during my childhood years. Curse you NTV. a b c Atwal, Sanj (3 December 2021). "14 Peaks: All the records Nims Purja broke in new Netflix documentary". Guinness World Records. Archived from the original on 4 December 2021 .

On 15 May 2017, [24] Purja led the Gurkha Expedition "G200E", which summited Everest together with 13 Gurkhas to commemorate 200 years of Gurkha service in the British Army. [25] He has climbed Mount Everest six times: the third time 27 May 2017, [26] the fourth time 22 May 2019, [27] the fifth time 31 May 2021 [28] and the sixth time 15 May 2022.

Impressively, previous record holder Kim Chang Ho didn’t use any and he still holds the record for the fastest ascent of all mountains over 8,000 m without supplementary oxygen.

The film has already hit Netflix’s top ten in its first week of streaming, suggesting that its thoughtful exploration of ambitious themes has hit home even with viewers who aren’t hardcore climbing enthusiasts. “In life, you have to keep doing what you believe,” Purja says toward the end of the film. “You have to ask yourself, do you really want this from your heart? Is it for the self-glory? Or is it for something bigger?” 14 Peaks makes it easy to believe that Purja and his partners are most certainly climbing for something even more meaningful than the record itself. The conditions are so extreme that when a climber gets into trouble up there, they are usually left to perish.

Purja and the team also find time for big parties between climbs - indeed they scale Kangchenjunga in one day while hungover. The trailer for Netflix documentary '14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible' came out on YouTube and I caught some quotes from the book. Excited to see Nimsdai and his team in action.

Those same seven letters appeared above the glass-and-steel shopping pavilion annexed to the five-star Marriott that sprang up in the brief interlude between the 2015 earthquake, which killed nearly 9,000 Nepalis, and the pandemic, which took an additional 12,000. Nimsdai is both the flagship mountaineering store above the Apple computer retailer in that square, and the diminutive Nepali call sign of the man whose name is on every Himalayan climber’s lips: Nirmal Purja a.k.a. Nims Purja a.k.a. Nimsdai. Ich denke, es reicht vollkommen aus, die Dokumentation zu schauen. Für mich ist Nims' Buch einfach eine großartige Ergänzung gewesen und ich habe seine Stationen noch einmal ohne Bewegtbild dazu nachverfolgt. Für meine aktuelle Berg-Begeisterung in Buch- und Filmform hat das jedenfalls sehr viel getan. Suddenly, Fischer was staring at her phone with a hand over her mouth. Somebody had just died on Lobuche, she said. He was one of Nims’s Elite Exped clients, maybe one she’d met. A few seconds later Nims texted her. “Can you not tell people before it comes from official plz,” he asked. It shows a solid line of climbers all the way along the Hillary Step, with around 100 people attempting to descend whilst 150 others pushed forward up the narrow ridge. He also tells us about his ability to compartmentalise, which must have helped him during tough moments on the climbs - and there were several.
