After a successful first round on Friendship Peak, the second team is now on the mountain—midway through their expedition. With their acclimatisation behind them, they’re en route to summit camp, gearing up to make the final push in the best weather window ahead. We’re waiting by our phones for that next ping—hoping it’s from the top! Fingers crossed for another great climb. 😃🙌🏻

In other Everest news, our folks on their Everest Base Camp quest made it to the top of Nangkartshang Peak (5,055M) today for acclimatisation! They’re now just a day away from their goal - reaching the Base Camp in the unbelievably beautiful Khumbu Valley — we’ll keep you posted as they inch closer. Rooting for them from down here :)

THIS ONE'S SPECIAL. Our CEO — the backbone of this company — summited Lhotse (8,516M) yesterday. Quietly leading from the back, he’s always been someone who sets the tone by example: in how we approach the mountains, and how we show up for the people climbing them. For the past few weeks, he’s been in the Khumbu region — coordinating across camps, supporting our climbers, and holding space for the emotional weight that high-altitude climbs carry. Through it all, he’s done what he always does: led with patience, steadiness, and heart. And now, he’s made it to the top of the fourth highest mountain in the world. We’re here with a big, big smile on our faces — already looking forward to welcoming him back to warmer lands, with a bang! Raising a toast to a season well done! 🥂🫡😃

Closing the curtain on Everest’s spring season on the most fitting day — the day it all began. On May 29, 1953, two men, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, armed with the knowledge of those before them, opened a door for thousands who would follow. 72 years later, we feel lucky to witness that same spirit — of pushing forward until there’s nowhere higher to go. To the top of the world. To the end of the Earth. Happy International Everest Day. Let’s never stop looking up. 🏔️

And it's a wrap! 🎉 With the success of our last batch to EBC for the season, all our climbers and teams are now headed down the mountain to warmer lands. What a colossal success it has been! We've loved every second on this mountain. Seeing the Base Camp so empty feeld surreal after all that's unfolded here in the last two months. We’re already looking back with gratitude and reverence… and slowly turning our gaze to the next season.

More news from Everest! After five quiet days on the mountain, the silence has finally broken — and what a way to do it! At 05:30 AM this morning, Vishwanathkarthikey Padakanti stood on the top of the world, becoming the youngest Indian and the second youngest in the world to complete the Seven Summits — the highest peak on every continent. At just 16 years, 6 months, and 27 days old, Karthik has carved out his name next to some giants in the field. From the first blind female climber, to the first woman from CISF, and now the youngest Indian to complete the Seven Summits — this Everest season has truly been one of breaking boundaries. A huge congratulations to Karthik on a journey that began with curiosity and ended with a record. We at Boots & Crampons are proud to have hosted him on all seven of these iconic climbs. The team is now snugly resting at Camp 4. More soon. 😃
