He was supported by a team of fellow Nepalese mountaineers who climbed with him on different mountains throughout the expedition. Doubts, however, have recently been expressed over how many climbers have actually completed the challenge, with ascents of Manaslu featuring large in the controversy.

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.

He began by scaling Everest over 10 years ago and ended by summiting Shisha Pangma alongside Nims.

On 16 January 2021, 10 Nepalese climbers - including Nims - made the first winter ascent of K2 ever.How he motivates himself to achieve the impossible. I heard that Michael Jordan spread a rumor about his opponent disrespecting him, just so he could motivate himself to beat him in the basketball court. Here, Nims Dai creates so over the top scenarios in his heads just so he can push himself to take another step in the snow. Do what works I guess. For eighteen years Ed Viesturs pursued climbing’s holy to stand atop the world’s fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, without the aid of bottled oxygen. But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go. Nims is a legend. When reading Insta/news I felt like he found some "glitch" in the way how mountains are climbed (i.e. figured out some superior logistics, got enormous funding, superior team or sth). However, after reading the book I am even more impressed about this feat. He was leading from the front and putting in the legwork (trailblazing/fixing ropes) himself on the mountains. He was also handling all the logistics, trying to secure sponsorships and taking loans to fund this effort himself. Taking massive risks on all fronts. Wow!

During their first acclimatization rotation, Nims proposed an alliance with Mingma G from Imagine Nepal. “I said, ‘Bro, why you want to compete?’ ” Nims recounted. “You got three guys, and I’m a team of six. Rather than having all this rivalry between the same Nepalese team, why don’t we work together?’ ”

He made his first major Himalayan climb in 2012, reaching the summit of Lobuche East with no previous experience as a mountaineer. On 18 May 2014, he made his first ascent of an eight-thousander by summiting Dhaulagiri (8,167 metres) during a return trip of only 15 days. [24] On 13 May 2016, Purja summited Mount Everest, his second eight-thousander. [24] Denis Urubko, the veteran Russian-Polish alpinist who climbed the 14 peaks without oxygen and notched the first winter ascents of both Gasherbrum II and Makalu, was the most outspoken. “The press often buys shit because it looks like chocolate,” Urubko told Explorerweb. “I saw his pictures and the summit video. It is impossible to be like that on K2’s summit without oxygen. Least of all to keep pace with a crew of climbers on oxygen.” Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible's trailer was released on 2 November 2021. [15] [18] The film was first premiered at the DOC NYC Film Festival. [19] It was released worldwide on 29 November 2021 on Netflix streaming. [20] [21] Critical response [ edit ] With this incredible achievement Kristin has set a new benchmark in mountaineering history and secured her status as an exceptional trailblazer in the field. Her achievement serves as an inspiration to adventurers and mountaineers around the globe, proving that with dedication and resilience, extraordinary heights can be reached. But when climbers returned to the mountain the following summer, the Sherpas’ ropes were still fixed all the way to the summit. “Thank God,” said Nims. “Mother Nature speaks. The people who died were still attached to the rope.”

At that point, Nims knew that he’d have to be the one to try without oxygen. He told only Mingma David and Mingma Tenzi of his plan. They left base camp on January 13. By 2:30 a.m. on the night of January 15, they were at Camp Three ready to launch. Mingma Tenzi took the lead with Imagine Nepal’s Dawa Tenjin belaying him as he fixed pitch after pitch of rope above Camp Four. Nims and Mingma David stayed just behind the leaders, passing them rope as they needed it. Mingma Tenzi was a force, pounding snow stakes, wrenching ice screws, fastening length after length. They were 10 of the strongest mountaineers in history, all pulling toward their own goal, with no clients to slow them down. People laughed. They told me I was crazy, even though I'd sharpened my climbing skills on the brutal Himalayan peaks of Everest and Dhaulagiri. But I possessed more than enough belief, strength and resilience to nail the job, having taken down enemy gunmen and terrorist bomb makers while serving with the Gurkhas and the UK Special Forces.One of the best parts was learning what mountaineers do when they're camped on this tiny ledge at 24,000 feet and nature calls, what they wear and eat and how a five pound tent can be the difference between life and death. I've always been curious about that! Dont stress about taking too many pics, even he can't do it. The goal is to reach the top and not the perfect picture Purja spent 16 years in the military - the first 10 as a Gurkha before joining the UK Special Forces. Purja was the first Gurkha to join the UK Special Boat Service By successfully completing Project Possible, Nims wanted to make a statement that Nepalese climbers are the best in the world.
