Andrews sets new record in 9 hours
American climber Tyler Andrews succeeded in breaking the record for fastest ascent to Mount Everest's summit using supplemental oxygen, completing the climb in 9 hours and 55 minutes. He surpassed the previous record of 10 hours and 56 minutes set by Nepali climber Lakpa Gilo Sherpa in 2003. Andrews completed his ascent solo after being equipped with the necessary gear, attempting to break the record without supplemental oxygen before having to turn back. The current Everest climbing season has seen the deaths of five climbers, while 18 people lost their lives in 2023, marking the worst fatality rate in the mountain's climbing history.
