Darby Allin Reaches Mount Everest Summit

As noted before, Darby Allin has been on a break from AEW since this past December due to his planned climb of Mount Everest that started this past mid-April.

The Mount Everest’s Everest Chronicles website provided an update stating that Allin successfully reached the summit of the mountain earlier today.

Good weather was in our favor, but many teams took advantage of the short window aswell, which slowed our progress more than expected.

Pasang Bhote, Nepal 14th summit
Tashi Thundu Sherpa, Nepal 12th summit
Pemba Sherpa, Nepal 2nd summit

The team will savor their moment on top and then start the return back to Camp 4.

In a follow-up post, the website stated that Allin will speak about the experience of his climb on Monday.

“After summitting, the team had a much faster descent. Arriving back into to camp 4 they will spend the afternoon refueling and sleeping after a mammoth night on the mountain. Tomorrow a descent to Camp 2 and then into Base Camp, and you’ll get to hear the story from Darby himself.

Congratulations again to Darby, Ang Dorjee, Pasang Bhote, Tashi Thundu and Pemba. Thank you to Pemba Tharke for being our South Col cook and having water ready for everyone’s return.”
